Plants In Pots For A Tank ?

I'd like to add some plants to the tank, but would prefer to have then in pots (not the plastic things they come in) so i can take them out if needed.

Has anyone done this and have some suggestions as to where i can get some suitable pots and plants that would be OK for this.

Thanks.

Lots of places sell plants in pots.

Personally, I will always remove mine from the pot and plant directly into the substrate because otherwise the roots can, sometimes, become a bit pot-bound.

However, if you want the flexibility of being able to move plants around, these should prove a good solution.

I've bought Fertiliser (TNC Complete) from aquariumgardens.co.uk
Fast delivery, good product so no complaints, but I haven't bought plants from them.

I've bought plants from https://www.plantsalive.co.uk/ and would be happy to recommend them.

I have plants in terracotta pots in my shrimpery and they work very well.

I have also used aquarium gardens and find their products to be excellent. The parcels always arrive on time and are very well packaged.
In fact, I ordered some nerite snails a couple of years ago. They were so well packaged that I couldn't find them for ages! I put them in the tank and they started moving straight away and are still going strong.

Likewise with the plants – easy to add to the tank and (if you've chosen correctly for your lighting conditions, etc.) strong and robust.

Hope that helps,
