Planted tanks

How did you all get started with live plants?

Saw a lot of planted tank stores popping up quite a few years ago, and that peaked my interest...

From there, got to know professionals in the industry and the addiction began...

Are any of the plants actually planted in the substrate, or are they all attached to driftwood or floaters? I have a reef sand substrate...will I need to add flourite or can I just cram some fertilizer near the roots? Are there any plants that get invasive and you wish you had never put them in your tank?
 
Before, is best. Will help the cycle.
 
So, now you all have converted me, I read a few articles about planted tanks. It took two days for the dust to clear in my tank from me adding a sand substrate. Now, I will have to disturb it to put in the plant mix. I am living proof that you really need to plan ahead when setting up a tank.
