I was reading a few posts on here and everyone seems to agree you should take off the plastic pots when you put your plants in the gravel but here's my situation...
I didn't know that prior to planting and I have two different plants, I'm guessing they are both in the sword family, that are established in their places in my tank but were planted witht he plastic pots left on.
Should I removed the plant and take off the pot now? even though it will disturb the established roots?? or should I just leave it at this point and of course, take off all future plastic pots?
Thanks!
