I got 2 planted tanks a 10G and 20G. They aren't really planted my 20G long has 2 of one kind and 10G has only 1. Now I really want my tanks to be planted but im never good with plants all of them are dying (pic below ) if I need to trim it I don't know how. I'm pretty new to plans and all. I just want to start on beginner plants so any advice would help thanks!
 
Took Leaf off of plant. Anyone advice?? Starter plants? I have LEDs in 20G and fluorescent on 10G
 
It looks from that pic that there is a new leaf growing. That's a good sign. Removing that damaged leaf will help as the plant won't be wasting resources trying to fix it. That's a sword? Do you use root tabs? Swords are root feeders and like root tabs. More info on your lighting and stock will be needed for folks to help you with planting your tank.

Thanks for replying! I got marineland LEDs and I don't know what wattage I can figure out soon. I don't know what kind the plant is though :( maybe I can ID on a thread. I have 2 inca snails 2 red wag platys , 2 sunset platys , 5 zebra danios.
 
They both can be tied on a piece of driftwood or placed on top of your substrate weighted down and the roots will take into the substrate.

Thanks I'm going to be looking where I can get some.
 
I got mine at a Petco! Pet Smart may also carry it! Very easy to grow and they reproduce other plants, so you don't need allot to start. I started with 2 just 3 months ago and they are already making new baby plants!
