Hey guys;
I've ordered a good bunch of plants, and they should come in today (Friday). In the past, with my Petsmart plants, I'd just plant the entire bunches together, just how petsmart gave them to me.
Should I plant each stem individually? Or can I plant the bunches together in the same "hole"?
Also, I just want to make sure, is it common for plants to have some "death" when put into a new tank, but then to grow back ok? (I think I read this, but I'm not sure.)
Also, I have some plants that say CO2 isn't required, but would really help (Rotala magenta, Hemianthus m., ?tiger lotus?), right now I have two hagen CO2 systems hanging on the tank putting in CO2. It's a 55g aquarium. I have already ordered a pressurized CO2 system, I'm just waiting on the tank. The tank *could* be here today, or monday. (*supposidely* it shipped Monday from California UPS ground to Louisiana). Will the plants be ok without decent CO2 for a few days?
Also, I am pretty busy today, but I don't want my plants to die! Is it OK if I just plant them in the tank, but then not aquascape it, just plant them and make sure they are getting light, and then move them later?
Thank you guys! I'll post pics of my plants as soon as I get them in and in the water.
