Anacharis question

[Stacey W.]

I just purchased my first plant yesterday an Anacharis. This morning I can see white on some of the leaves. What does this mean?

It's probably just melting. All plants usually go through this when introduced into a new tank. Once it gets settled down it will grow like a weed

Thanks, I am so excited. I've had fake plants for 2 years. I am finally making the jump to real. One at a time though. Ive been doing lots of research but still have a lot of questions.

Some easy plants that grow in almost every tank are Anubias and Java fern. Both are very nice green plants

Anubias and Java Fern you don't plant. Just tie them to rocks or driftwood and it will establish itself. They are water column feeders.

That's what I read that is super cool. I can't take it all my silk plants out all at once though because my fish will freak. I figured if I do at least one plant at a time it will reduce any stress. As you can tell there are lots of hiding spots esp. on the right side of the tank. I'm just worried hopefully my led strip will cut it regarding plant growth.

That's the prettiest fake plants I've ever seen.

Another easy plant that grows like crazy is bacopa caroliniana.

Amazon sword are also really easy and pretty. Just a root tab underneath them and they are fine.
