Good!
On planting and stems thing about stem plants is to plant them into the substrate at a 45 degree angle with a tweezer (or your pinchy fingers lol).
Additionally plant stems individually, say at least a centimeter apart, off center and in odd number groups if possible, if you have an even number it won't be that big of a deal if they are off set to each other. Also in a more natural shape less like a circle or a square, and around a natural feature like a DW branch or a stone ( or an appropriate space, ).
Tried to make a diagram - hope it translates to the screen. By alternating the stems and separating them from each other gets a better chance of light getting to the lower leaves. This will help with die off of vegetative matter.
Also plants have some transitional melt/die off, same with if parameters are doing big swings like CO2 /no CO2, spikes - unstable tanks or overfeeding issues from being away for work or a fun vacation.
