planting Echinodorus Tenellus

[Achilles1]

hey guys,

I'm new here and have a quick question. Have bought a piece of Echinodorus Tenellus. i love how this plant looks but am struggling with the planting. It loses grip on the substrate and floats to the surface as I release it every time.When I do manage to let in stay in the substrate it looks kinda weird because some of the roots are still visisble. Any tips?

Thank you very much

If the roots are visible after planting - you should be able to plant deeper, and thereby get a better anchoring of the plant. Roots should really not be visible after planting.
