Hey Mo got my plants today they look good ! I have them soaking in some plain water and when I do a water change today I will save the old tank water and soak them in there for a couple of days. Now when I am ready to put them in the tank I just let them float or try and put the biggest pieces root down into the gravel ? So happy its cooler here this week I can put the hood light on them during the day. Glad I got some hortwot I think is how you spell it, anyway its nice looking ! Thanks so much Mo for all your help so excited to have some real water plants ! Sheila
