water changes with discus and plants

Hi im new to planted tanks but not discus been keeping them on and off for around 8 yrs or so. I know that discus love lots of water changes and plants not so much Im thinking about adding some java fern and anubias to my 125 do you guys still do water changes as you normally would or do you cut down the water changes and the amount to get healthy plants im currently doing 50 percent daily was just wondering if i need to cut back on the water changes to have healthy plants. Id appreciate any tips trying to get as much info as i can before buying a bunch of plants thanks alot
