I would appreciate it if one of you guys could instruct me on how to correctly plant stem plants, does each stem need to be placed individually into the substrate, or in little bunches......I have a pair of hemostats and a small tweezer.....the plants I have in question are baby tears, bacopa, anacharis,and some mystery stem plant, was supposed to be ambulia, (but clearly is not), will post a pic when I can.

thanks in advance

pretty sure now it's creeping jenny....actually I got a deal...I ordered 2 bunches ambulia for 1.99 each, and got 2 bunches creeping jenny which they sell at 3.99 each. I hope it does ok in the tank, though, I only have 2 wpg. I guess we'll have to see!

I have some creeping jenny doing very well in a tank thats under 2 wpg.

When planting stems plants I usually plant 3 or 4 stems together unless they are a thick stem plant. Then I'll plant them one at a time.
