Stem plants are the fast-growing backbone of the mid- and background — sold as rooted bunches, they’re the quickest way to add height, colour and density to a new tank. Our range includes feathery Cabomba Caroliniana and Red Myrio (Myriophyllum tuberculatum), broad-leaved Water Wisteria, and finer-leaved Bacopa Caroliniana, Ludwigia Repens, Rotala Rotundifolia and Rotala Wallichii. Choose based on light and colour: Rotala Wallichii and Ludwigia Repens reward stronger light with red-to-pink colouration, while Water Wisteria, Bacopa and Cabomba are more forgiving and stay lush green under moderate light. Mixing fine-leaved and broad-leaved stems side by side gives the most natural-looking background. All stem plants here are rooted in substrate rather than attached to hardscape, and they grow quickly enough that regular maintenance is part of the deal — trim the tops before they reach the surface and replant the cuttings to keep the bunch thick from the base up. They benefit from a liquid fertiliser (see our Fertilizer range) and respond well to CO2, though the greener species will still grow, just more slowly, without it. Buying tip: expect some lower leaves to melt or drop in the first week or two after planting as the bunch adjusts — trim those off and the new growth from the top will fill back in. Frequently Asked Questions Do stem plants need CO2 and strong light to survive? Not to survive, but to thrive. Green species like Water Wisteria, Bacopa and Cabomba grow steadily under moderate light with no CO2; red species like Rotala and Ludwigia need brighter light to colour up well. How do I plant a stem plant bunch? Separate the bunch into small groups of 3-5 stems, trim the bottom inch, and push each group into the substrate a couple of centimetres deep, spaced to allow room to fill out. Why are the lower leaves melting after I plant them? This is normal transition stress as the plant redirects energy into new roots and top growth. Trim off the affected leaves and it will keep growing from the healthy tips.
