Are both items necessary for my plant care?

[arixia9]

I've recently started getting into aquarium plants and I thought, why not add a bit more to it. I've picked up these two items, but I'm not sure if I need one or both - do I really need both of these or will just one do the trick?

Consider returning them if possible, as they aren't necessary. I've had similar experiences and regret the purchase.

The white substrate can be problematic for fish, as it causes stress due to excessive light reflection. As for the Tetra plant substrate, it may cause issues, particularly for bottom-dwelling fish like cories, loaches, or cichlids. These species are best kept in tanks with inert sand or fine gravel, depending on their specific needs.

Thanks for the advice, I actually didn't order them I was just asking, so I've got seeds and I wanna start plants, what do I need to get started?

What plant seeds are you working with, and is your tank already cycled with water?
