## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the plant be nestled into the gravel still in the pot?**
A: I would recommend that, they can’t grow their roots when their planted in gravel, I would recommend you to stuck them between rocks or glue them on drift wood, since that’ll allow them to grow their roots without a problem.

**Q: after i remove the wool can i place plant back in pot and plant in the little pebbles based on the bottom of my tank? is this ok ?**
A: The most recommended thing is to glue them on drift wood or rocks to allow them to grow their roots.

**Q: Can this plant be half out out of water like in three or four inches of water?**
A: Needs to be covered in water

**Q: The plant came in a slotted/vented pot. Do I leave it in the pot or remove it?**
A: The instructions above clearly state to remove it from the pot and peel the wool of the roots, and rinse before placing in the substrate in your tank.
