planting in pots
Got a very large tank with has 3" of sand and no UGF. Thinking of putting
plants in pots (say 6"-8" pots with holes on sides) and bury them in sand. This way I don't have to redo all the substrate. Will it work? What would the best best substrate for these pots? I am going to plant large swords ( Echinodorus bleheri http://www.aquariumplants.com/cart/i...mazonSword.jpg) Thanks for helping. |

Why not plant directly in the sand? It's good for roots. Yes, planting in pots will work too. You may as well use Flourite if you're going to the trouble of potting.

If you want to succeed with plant growth, remove the plants from their pots and place them in to a nutrient rich substrate. Hope this helps |
