 | Safe to take plants out of pots? |
Punksvspops Fingerling Posts: 32 Kudos: 32 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Sep-2005 | I just recently bought plants for my tank and noticed that they were in a pot. i was wondering if it would be okay to take the plants out of the pot due to the face that the pots take up way too much space.  Thanks |

Remove the media they grow in gently so you don't upset the roots too much, trim dead roots if you see any, and just plant it. Some plants might take more time than others to recover from this gentle operation, but all plants will eventually grow. Cheers. |

I had to remove a lot potted plants recently I got it all out using a tooth pick. Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Their roots will be crushed in the Pots & whey wouldn't grow much. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
