    I have bought some plantes with broad leaves.

    I planted them yesterday but this morning, one plant was floated.

    My question is : Do i need to put some anchor on the root of the plant so it will be heavy enough to float up.?

    Thanks in advance
    Just a Newbie ...

    Does the plants have much roots? If not, let it float for a few days to let the roots grow. You'll need about an inch to 2 inches of roots. Longer roots for a bigger plant.

    You can planting deeper, but make sure the crown of the plant is not buried with gravel.

    If you have fishes, like cories, loaches, etc, that will dig around the plant, they could dislodge it before its properly rooted. In that case, after planting, surround the base of the plant with large pebbles.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
