Ok would it work well in a 5 gal if I cut some of the bottom of.

 

[Benji k]

Or atach to some wood and rocks

 

[betta4ever!]

Which of the 2? Tall one looks like some sort of hygrophila and the other one like java moss

Yeah it’s the tall plant I was just wondering if I cut part of the bottom of the plant could I atach it do driftwood in my 5 gallon

 

[Benji k]

And since it’s getting really big should I cut some and replant it

Stem plants are not grown attached to wood.
But yes, you can cut the stem and plant the top part, it will root in the substrate. The bottom part should also send out new growth. A cheap way of getting more plants

You can't attach hygrophila on things as far as l know...

Only plants like java fern, anubias, mosses, bolbitis, bucephalandra can be grown attached to wood. Stem plants like hygrophila cannot be attached to wood, they have to be rooted in the substrate.


Stem plants usually grow tall, it will probably try to row out of a 5 gallon, but you can keep pruning it to keep it small. It'll probably need pruning every week.

Yeah hopefully it will grow out the tank I like the look of it I put the roots in the substrate and it looks like it’s in the driftwood
