sarahny Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I just got some potted lilaeopsis mauritius and zealandia sword. Should I keep them in their pots for a while to acclimate to my tank? Or will they be ok to plant straight away? I also just planted some dwarf sag and twisted val on monday and some of the leaves look transparent and some are yellow now. Will they bounce back? I keep seeing comments about plants “melting”. I don’t think I’ve even seen a plant “melt” before...what does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Take them out of the pot and the wool. Separate the segments and plant them carefully into a nutrient rich substrate for best results. Of-course you must have the correct light for the plant to grow.

Sophia Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 check the twisted val is not buried, it likes to sit with only it's actual roots in the gravel so if there are any green bits covered up, just wiggle it out a bit so you can see the roots. Any green bits that are in the gravel will wither off and die. If the roots are not big enough to weigh the plant down you could put a stone over the top of the root. I don't think dwarf sag objects to being planted right into the gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
