Care & Planting: Remove from bunch wrap/foam, then plant the stems into substrate. Propagate by cutting along the stem and replanting the cuttings.

A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth β€” don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
