Questions about plants ^^

[Freezekougra]

I was reading about putting live plants in a tank, but that seemed like too much work, so I'm thinking of getting plastic plants ^^

I got a plastic plant 2-3 months ago, and it seems to be breaking :X
-The "cup" thing at the bottom that you put gravel in fell off before I put the plant in
-2 of the 6 stems broke off when I was vaccing the tank and the plant floated up
-1 of the stems is bent and probably going to fall off if I touch it

Are all plastic plants like this or did I just get unlucky?

why are plants hard?

you just need the right plants.

mine grow fine, I just plant em and ignore them.

some of em need pruned back but hey those are cuttings! more plants for free!
