I am wishing to have a planted aquarium but I am left clueless as to what substrate and equipment I need after reading several articles online.

I need to know:

1. What substrate is best for plants, yet easy to clean
2. What type of plants are good for beginners
3. What other equipment I need (I have filter, light, heater...)

Thanks for any help you can give!
