Wow that is insane formatting. I had to highlight it to read it.

Gravel won't kill your plants but it won't necessarily nourish them, either. If you want, you can add certain kinds of plant substrate directly on top of the gravel that don't have to be washed much if at all. And of course proper fertilization of the substrate will make it more inviting for them. I like flourish tabs for digging into the substrate near plants, personally.
