Default Aquarium salt
I just planted my first aquarium plants. And then I got worried since I've been using aquarium salt (at the normal recommended dose.) So I dumped half of my water and put in new water. Do you think my plants will be OK? I can keep changing a gallon per day for a while if needed. (It's a 10g by the way.) Or should I have taken more than half of the water out. I did not want to uncycle my tank or stress the poor fish any more. Thank you for your help!I am such a beginner!

Yes just keep doing water changes. 20-30% per day for a week or so should dilute the salt soon enough.

Some plants are more sensitive than the other on salt. Rotalas are not very good with it.
