I have ordered 4 types of plants, for which delivery was on time and packaging was also superb but a little upset about the plants as some of those haven't roots and they are small even I am in doubt it will survive or not. Can you please suggest me to plant water cabbage, can I use soil to plant these small water cabbage.
