that depends on whether it's established in that pot... I genearlly take the
pot/plastic off and leave the plant plug if needed, it CAN help hold it
down, the roots will grow thru it, or you can risk breaking roots and take
the plug off... some amazons work best with it, until they have an
established root system...

Obviously new to planted aquaria, my question is do I leave my plants in
the
pot/basket they were in when I bought them and push the entire bunch down
into the substrate?
