Planting my undrerwater garden

[Scouser]

My LFS has finally been able to find a plant provider that has variety.

I would like some suggestions on nice low light plants for my current and next tank.

And I'd also like to know if the way I planted one of my new Anubias is ok?

It won't constrict it or anything?

Thanks!

Low light plants include:

Take the anubias out of the pot, remove from the cotton padding, and tie the anubias plant onto a piece of driftwood or a rock. Use cotton thread or a rubber band to tie the plants ribosome onto something which will keep the roots out of the substrate!

Anubias isn't a very quick grower so you will not see to much growth very quickly. Just so u know.
There are also so many more plants that you could have that are not on that list like Anacharis and wisteria. Just do some research and you will find plenty of plants for your tank!

yea i done some research on the anubias before buying em so i wont expect a spurt lol.

i dont want plants that make over a tank if you get what i mean, a plant that looks good and grows slow is perfect for me till i get my bigger tank next year!
