View full detailsStem plants are a loved favorite! These aquarium stem plants are bunched in groups of 4-8 stems and are held together with a small plant weight and aquarium safe material to keep their fragile roots safe. Bunched stems are cost effective and have the potential to give you a great bang for your buck if you provide the care the aquatic plant needs. Stem bunches are relatively easy, fast-growing aquatic plants that are ideal for the start-up phase.
Once you get them home, just remove the weight and gently separate the stems before planting. Space each stem out a bit so light and nutrients can reach the lower leaves, and you’ll encourage fuller, bushier growth. Many hobbyists start with aquarium stem plants because they’re common aquarium plants that settle in quickly, and these stem plants can make your tank look lush in no time. Ready to get planting? Grab a fresh, healthy bunch from Buce Plant and give your aquascape an easy upgrade.
