Caidenh24 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I want to buy some pearl weed and aquarium coop is out of stock so I went on eBay and I saw potted ones and just the trimmings. I want to know which is better? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.of.all.aquariums Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 In my experience potted stem plants are nearly always just trimmings wrapped in rock wool and stuffed in a pot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok how long should the roots take to grow? Can I plant them in substrate without roots? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.of.all.aquariums Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 They will grow pretty fast but it doesn't really matter the plant will be fine. Just shove them far enough into the substrate that they stay in place and you'll be good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I'd be leary about buying trimmings from eBay unless it's a rare plant that you can't find anywhere else. If Aquarium Co-op is out of stock I would try another reputable online seller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
