I received this stem and am trying to root it in Eco-complete & Flourite blend capped with small river pebbles. The portion of the stem that had roots was too brittle and broke at that node.
Now how can I root this ?
Can I floa it until fresh roots bring to grow from one of the other healthier nodes ?
yep. use a finger, jam it down to the bottom glass, other hand has the stem in tweezers, stick it in that hole while you're getting the digging finger out, then the digging finger holds the stem there while you retract the tweezers. then ditch the tweezers in the tweezer hand, and use that hand instead to build up a little mound around the stem. done!
use tweezer, using finger is not a decent way to plant hold the stem with it and go atlist 1-2inch deep, gently release and pull back the tweezer hope this will work
