I bought some plants that were supposed to be low light- mid light for my fluval flex 57 litre and not sure if they are actually low-mid light and if they need special care, i lost the names of them so i cant google it :L The tank has a 7500k led. I also am not sure if i planted them ok as was in a rush, some of the roots broke off, goes to show how new i am to this hobby and should be more gentle. I also totally forgot to rinse them:facepalm:

found out what two of my plants are
1.Lobelia Cardinalis
2.Echinodorus Rubin

Looked them up and the need 2-4watt per gallon! My 15 gallon is only got a 10.8 wat 7500 :(
 
The Watts per gallon rule is quite obsolete, specially with LEDs. What matters is par ratings at your tank's depths. As for planting them, each plant is different. I'm not an expert on this, but I'd say your plants should be fine in terms of light.
