Hey everyone!
I just wanna know how you go about taking care of a live plant. Do you have to use special products for them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think its a wisteria plant or an argentine something?

Sorry

I usually just plant them and let the plants absorb the Nitrates for food. Some people use fertilizers and C02. It just depends on how much effort you want to put into it. wisteria(if this is what you have) is a fairly uncomplicated plant. Just plant it.
www.plantgeek.net is a great place to learn about the more involved ways to take care of plants. The plant profile will also help you ID your plant or you could post us a pic and we will help you ID it

i'd go with what butterfly said. my tank is pretty heavily planted with just a few fish, so i use fertilizers, but it all depends on the route you wanna take

wisteria is a pretty easy plant to start off with too

yes I love Wisteria. I don't do a lot of extra fertilizing in my tanks and I'm satisfied with the plant growth but I've seen some gorgeous ones with all the rest of the stuff done to them.
