Unless I have an extremely sensitive plant, and a very tiny
unestablished culture which might be killed if I take it out the pot,
I will take the plant out, divide them into several pieces to work
with, especially crypts.

Cheers

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?
