When I clean my tank (gravel vac, water change) should I be moving my live plants or should I leave them in the same place?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

In a planted tank you should not gravel vac at all, you can skim the surface of the substrate, but the plants will use the detritus for nutrients. In a tank with a couple plants you should gravel vac, but do not disturb the roots, or near the roots. Give the plants a good space to still draw nutrients from.
