I hope I potted my marginals right today. I took them out of
their pots, rinsed the roots as clean as I could, and repotted in
baskets with some Fluorite I have around.

Did I do this right, or could they have gone into the pond as-is? I was
afraid the wood and potting soil would rot in the pond if I didn't get
most of it out of the roots.


Sounds good to me. You did the right thing by removing whatever they had
them potted in, even if it was from an aquatic nursery. The only thing I
would have done different is I would have soaked them in permanganate
before potting them up. ~ jan

Cool. Thanks. I've managed to damage aquarium plants with a bit too
much PP so I'm not very fond of the stuff. I was planning to be more
careful with aquatic plants, particularly once I get some fish.
