DIY Potted Aquarium Plants

Create an easy to clean underwater garden in your aquarium! Select plants that will be safe for your fish and thrive underwater, such as java fern, watersprite, Amazon sword, Crypt Wendtii or any Anubias plants. Plant the aquarium vegetation in terracotta pots or other aquarium safe pots with crushed lava rocks as substrate. Place the plants in your aquarium tank and encircle the plants with large rocks and gravel for added stability and decor. Ensure that you have enough light wattage per tank gallon for your plants and check the requirements for each type of plant to ensure your aquarium plants will thrive.
