Hoe plant je de Pogostemon Erectus in het aquarium?

Planting stem plants can be done in different ways, depending on what you want to achieve in your aquarium.

If you choose to plant the plants as a whole clump (without rock wool), this is a quick and easy method. You'll get a nice bunch right away and it saves you time. However, keep in mind that you may lose some stems this way.

If you're a bit more patient, you can choose to plant each stem individually. This allows you to work more precisely, allowing you to position the stems to evenly cover a larger area. Furthermore, planting them individually allows the stems to receive more light and circulation, as they won't be in each other's shadow. This approach can result in healthier, more lush growth in the long run.

This approach gives your plant the best chance to thrive in your aquarium!
