1. First of all reconsider the bought plant and remove all decayed and sick parts, clean roots from dirt and carefully wash out in water of room temperature. At greens with a powerful root system and the shortened stalk thin out roots. Then cut off a fragment of 3 centimeters and land in soil, having only slightly covered roots. So plants will quicker grow. If at a plant too thin and small roots in any them do not cut cases.

2. Remove at shanks of plants with the extended stalk all lower part with leaves and roots, at the same time do not leave less than 4 knots. Avoid frequent change of plants, when landing they lose old roots, and new are only formed, and they experience some difficulties in adaptation. These types need to be put on depth of 4-5 centimeters.

3. Before landing surely disinfect a plant. For this purpose rinse it in salt solution, in a proportion 1 teaspoon on 1 liter of water. So you will destroy all harmful microorganisms, and they will not get to an aquarium.

4. Plant plants or in an empty aquarium with wet sand, or pour a little water. At every way the pluses: at the first you fix it better, at the second will give necessary situation. When landing try not to bend roots, they are so gentle that can easily crack. They need to be landed in the sandy poles made in advance. At tuberous or bulbous seaweed it is possible to cut off almost all roots. Do not immerse a tuber completely in soil, leave top open. Before landing of a bulb wrap up it in filtering cotton wool or in peat fibers, only leave available seats of growth of roots.

5. Start floating plants in already filled aquarium. If you want to limit the place of their swimming, then tie thread to suckers and place it in an aquarium. In the same way hook a moss or a fern. Plant aquarian seaweed on height, at a distant wall the highest, and at a lobby low.
