This listing is for one bunch of at least 6 stems. Low-High light, CO2 and Fertilizers are optional for faster growth. Fast growing, quickly grows into a nice bush Stem plant, so stick into your substrate and it will sprout roots. Trim and re-plant to grow more stems. This is the green variant of the Rotala family, which grows mostly green. Rotala tends to grow quite differently depending on the lighting and water conditions it is placed in, with lower light making it grow thinner leaves and higher light giving it round leaves as seen in the images. Trimmings do not come with roots, however aquatic plants melt their roots when introduced into new substrates and it is in-fact recommended to trim roots before planting them. For this reason trimmings are no harder to plant or grow and allow us to give you a better price. If you have any questions or problems feel free to contact us!
