Plants selection for the aquarium

Things you need to look at when purchasing aquarium plants 

• condition of the plant - do not buy sick ones (to follow this rule you must be familiar with the plant sickness symptoms), we cannot rely completely on the seller's honesty
• presence of plants in the aquarium is the same important as the presence of fish, so buying them we must pay attention to their requirements in terms of lighting, temperature and planting method (individually, in groups, place it at the back of the aquarium or in the middle, front etc.)
• important parameter in the selection of plants is their maximum height. Plants growing above the water level can lose their leaves and even die.
