plant placement question
I have a question and this may seem a little stupid but here goes. I bought 5 or 6 little stemmed plants that were bundled together, should I plant them individually or in the bundle. The plants were Java ferns, Ambula and Pennywort. Thank you in Advance ....Barry

i think you should plant them indivudually so they can all have room to grow

I agree with Kevin....plant them individually.
 It not only gives them more room to grow, but allows the bottom most leaves to get more light.

Gravel works just fine.
Java fern needs to be placed on top of the substrate or tied to wood or rocks. You can bury the roots, but don't bury the rhizome (hard, stem-like part on the bottom). The other 2 should be planted though.

i find that yellow colored lighting makes the java ferns get little plantlets on the leaves faster, and ime it makes them grow faster too.
