Relax, your post was only up for an hour! To start off with, what kind of plants are you looking at? There are many things that different plants need. The needs of aquatic plants varies from one to another.
Howdy,
try to post pics, otherwise, we will not be able to help too much. It's like "what do fish need"... Or identify them on the web. Scientific names will be best.
In general, I suggest you use our MFK search option, and enter keywords like beginner, plants, planted tank, start etc. That will give you a good, general idea of requirements.
Looking forward to your pics/names,
HarleyK

The second picture is an amazon sword I think, might also be a radican sword. Pretty undemanding, if you want it to flourish, just make sure your nitrates stay around 10-15ppm. Lighting should be between 1wpg to 2 wpg, but higher light won't hurt it. A good substrate (eco-complete, flourite, laterite) will help, as will ferts. CO2 will really help them grow fast. For the ferts check out www.gregwatson.com. Very good ferts, the csm+b mix should be enough if those are the only 2 plants. The first picture I can't identify, a clearer picture would help though. We are just so picky aren't we?
