I have just dug a small hole in the gravel stuck in the plant and covered it over I had some come loose but have got them on bottom now and seem to be growing, this is the first time I have managed to get plants to grow in the aquarium, if you have silver dollars I would suggest staying away from amozan swords as they tend to strip these, there is a very good plant section in the free ebook on this site, which gives all sorts of advice, check it out, good luck,
Brian.

Fuller I like to use a base of aragonite(substrate not the pure mineral) of about a 1/2 inch. Then top that off with your normal gravel. Be careful though as this will effect your pH.
