I finally received my plants yesterday and spent the evening planting my tank. However I have some questions regarding the above plant. I wasn’t expecting to receive plants that were already 40+ cm tall, I was totally unsure on how to go about planting these and was reluctant to start trimming a new plant before it had even been planted so I just split the plant as best as possible and planted directly into the soil. Any stems that did break off presumably in transit or my rough handling I just planted directly as well. So I would like to know can I trim these extra-long plants as it currently looks unsightly. Secondly the plants I received have rather long stem in between each bushy section of the plant is this due to nutrient deficiency or lack of light?
Any tips on this particular plant would be most welcome. I am currently attempting to grow in a low tech tank with no added ferts or CO2 at the moment.
