I was wondering how you place your aquatic plants in your aquarium. I always had trouble with my plants when I put them in bunches. The stem close the root seems to break but now when I plant them stem by stem leaving 2-3 inches between them, my plants do better. They actually do very well. Any suggestions? I’d like to add more plants to the tank but wanted some advice first.
The tank gets 11 hours of light per day and my current plants are doing ok with the exception of 1 stem.
I have tried both ways, but have a hard time getting them to stay put individually, so keep them in small clumps. One thing I tried that helps w/what your saying, is to trim the broken/flimsy root ends (on certain plants) before planting. Sometimes, they seem damaged from the store, so trimimg off the bended part seems to help them stay put. Adding a little more gravel around the plant bases might also help them stay rooted.

I’m wanting a new book or two on gardening, and one that has a bit of focus on houseplants and overwintering plants indoors. I’m also thinking about one with details on starting from seed and propagating. Which books are the most informative, with in-depth information and tips? I need something that will be useful to me in a cold climate.
Any links to good sites are also appreciated. I’m looking for a book, a hard copy, something that I can read in bed or when the internet’s out.
All New Square Foot Gardening is a great book for outdoor gardening including seed starting. I also second the suggestion for Rodale’s Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. As far as houseplants it depends what you want to grow. I think Taylor’s Guide to Houseplants is good but if you are like me and prefer growing more unusual stuff like lemons and herbs it won’t be very helpful.
It is a good idea to find some at the library so you can look through them thoroughly and see what you think.

How many should be left and how much will this cost? Will the cemetery immediately dispose of the flowers? And what does the cemetery do with the flowers? I hate to just add to the waste problem with flowers that only get viewed for a few hours.
WHY THAT in HERE..?
