Planting Willow Hygro?!?! Help!

[sillypony]

I'm fairly certain thats what this is anyways.

I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere else, but I need to get back to planting.

I got a whole bunch of this stuff, but it doesnt appear to have an "end". It has one longgggggg stem, with roots scattered all long it, inbetween the leaves. So what part do i put in the substrate?? I could try to plant each root so its like a chain along the sand... but that would be a PITA and i'd probly end up buring half the stem (would that lead to rott?)

IDK what to do.

Thanks.

the thinner part of the stem is the top. Or look how the leaves are, the greener part is the top, whiter part is the bottom.

so i put one end in, as i would with wisteria, water sprite, etc?
These are LONGGGGGGGG pieces- more like vines than stem plants. And some of htem have the biggest roots right in the middle of the 'stem'

yes plant them as you would with any other stem plant. The roots are along the stem because there was more nutrients in the water than in the substrate, so the plant had to compensate and grow roots along the stem.
