In most set-ups it will make the most sense to keep the plants in pots which you can then hide behind decor or bury in the substrate. Direct planting can only be done if you're using bioactive substrate, which is a living mixture that supports beneficial bacteria and janitorial invertebrates. Might be worth researching if you're into that kind of thing.

In either case live plants will need some kind of full spectrum lighting as well.
