I recently learned from reading a few articles on water wisteria that you can place a single stalk on its side and weigh it down and it will carpet the tank. So I did that. I also had a single leaf floating around for a couple days after a pwc and it grew small roots so I just randomly stuck it in the rocks I have for sub and it started growing more leaves! Happy I am with the way it looks!
I am thinking I can cut up this one stalk and plant pieces of it to better start the carpet effect... But I don't know how to go about cutting it and how much is too much? Laying it on its side it just kinda curved upward... but the roots are headed straight down and don't touch the rocks yet. Should I just be patient and wait for it to plant itself instead of cutting it up? Should I tie it to a straw or something so it lays flat on the bottom?
