    :idea:Just as a rough estimate

    L(cm) x W(cm) / 50 = amount of plants.

    Remember that a "stalk' count as a plant!

    so in a standard 1.2 meter tank you can put in 108 plants??? or am I wrong because I am sure I cant fit in 108 big Sword in that tank?

    I think that you have to count the Sword's Leaves/Stalks as a plant.This is also a Max value.

    I was waiting for this.
    I really do not know but i work it out that if you should roll it into a tight ball about 2cm diameter i count it as a plant.
