We are getting our new plants today, but i have another quick question. If it is potted, are we supposed to leave the cotton stuff there or remove it from the plant? also do we burry each individual stem or is it the whole plant together? is it a matter of preferance?
 
oh and our plants are temple narrow leaf, micro sword and rotala indica.
 
remove the pots and the "fuzz" (rock wool?), put 2-5 stems in each hole, for most plants.

temple...singly
rotala...3 per..... that's IMO ;-)
 
thanks for the input. our rotala indica was a little yellow, im assuming its colors will come back??
 
rotala indica is an easy, hardy plant. it'll come back, but will only turn pink if you have good lighting.
