How To Plant Water Wisteria

[barb-e]

Yesterday I bought three bunches (4 root things each) of water wisteria. First does this seem like too much for a ten gallon? I had to plant it all as one bunch kind of in the middle of the tank because they kept floating up to the top and still do with just a little tap. How can I get my hygrophila difformis to grow pretty like in all the pictures I see. I'm new to all of this and I have no clue how to really manuever (sp.) the plants and decorations correctly. Help please?

It is pretty buoyant until it roots. If you plant it sideways/at an angle and pile a bit of gravel over the stem it should stay down until it roots. Its better to plant individual stems or it will just lose the lower leaves as they wont get enough light. It it escapes just plant it again putting more of the stem sideways it will straighten itself up again.

just seperate the stems dependin on ur gravel high i got 3 inches or least and seperating stem one by one makes it easier for it to hold into the gravel
