## 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.

I’ve had the fern for a couple days now! It’s settling in well! It came in great shape and my betta loves it. I just switched to live plants and I will definitely be buying from this seller again! (I accidentally kicked up my substrate fixing a couple plants that’s why it’s a lil brown and foggy)
