Help! how many pots needed

[johnm]

Hi all,
I'm about to order some tropica plants, I need some advice as to how many pot I will need of the following plants.
Eleocharis parvula to cover approx 30 x 30 cm. Staurogyne sp 30 x 30 cm and Vallisneria americana 'mini twister'
30 x 30 cm.

Thanks

John

As many as you can comfortably afford, the higher the biomass on planting the less likely you are to get algae in the start up phase. You'd probably only need a couple of the 1-2 grow pots, the vallis tends to be used as a subtle highlight or a background plant so it's pretty rare to plant so large an area.
