If it is water sprite, it does best floating but planted is ok. It grows VERY fast

Water sprite can grow planted, floated, and if planted and left to grow can grow up and out of the tank. I have never had an issue of my planted water sprite releasing little pieces unless a fish nipped them off.

What's your tank set up? Tanks size, light, etc?

@Bwiz123 - Rivercats and AquaChem are the BEST on this site - listen to them !!!!

O I know of rivrcat, but my tank is 30 gal, with gouramis



Maybe it's my shotty light, but it was relaxing bundles with roots from mid stem

The aeriel roots are common on many aquarium plants including water sprite but none of my water sprite has ever released them without help from fish. I keep water sprite in the 2 goldie tanks as it grows so fast and can withstand their picking at it. I always have little pieces floating from them nipping at the leaves. On a plus note tho you can leave the pieces floating and they will grow into nice looking floating plants. Just leave the other one planted.

Are the stems rotting or is it a clean break?

 

[Bwiz123]

Seems clean gouramis don't nip they hid in it, hopefully I can find a pic before I replant em
