Is it OK for the plants to float? I thought they need nutritions from the soil through their roots.beviking said:If you want to grow more stems, let the stem float at the surface (on it's side) and you'll get stems growing from several places. Once they're long enough, pinch them off and plant.
Yep, as star stated, it's o.k. for it and most stem plants to float. In fact, if you have one/some that aren't looking well (transplant from another/someone elses tank) stem plants will 'bounce back' sooner ( vs. planting them at the bottom of the tank) if you let them float due to the proximity to the light.KO Lo said:Is it OK for the plants to float?

Is there any difference pinch off and cut off (scissors)?
