Sorry that is the best I can do. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

That's what I was told, anyway. shrugs Just gently remove all that stuff (the wool might make a bit of a mess) and rinse off the roots before planting. Try to get rid of most of the wool stuff. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

Some plants come without the plastic pot aswell. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
