weighates Hobbyist Posts: 56 Kudos: 44 Votes: 1 Registered: 20-Jun-2005	I just bought a sword (its in bad condition) and a Hygrophila (beautiful condition). They are potted and I am not sure if I should leave them in the pot or bury them in the gravel or what? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Trim as much of the damage as you can without completly cutting the plant up, and trim the roots. I would then let it float/sink in its tank for several weeks this will give it time to restablish its self and just might give it a new life. I think Bernard would be the best to answer this any way.
