Will plants grow in colored gravel?

[Incredulous_Ed]

Can plants grow in colored gravel? Does it have to be uncolored?

[Full3R]

i dont think the color would really affect it just needs light and good root structure i think

[Incredulous_Ed]

ooohhhhhh... Is that all it need?

Hey Full3R, Have you ever seen those live aquarium plant bulbs at wal-mart? Supossedly you just drop them in the gravel and they grow. I bought some last week and just dropped them in my aquarium and one of them sprouted today. Do you have any advice on these bulb plants?

[Full3R]

Im afraid we dont have wal-mart in AUS, all though ive seen "where the heart is"
but yes in AUS we have Big W which does sell the plant bulbs you speak of my mother had some in her old platty tank and they grew for a couple of months then died

They need a little more than light but plants can be grown in colored gravel as Full3r says.
