Won't go into much detail but just planted one stem of Rotala about
a month ago. Has a second stem coming from the side by the bottom.
Both grew at first but the shorter one stopped growing and the main, first stem is doing well now.
But as often happens I changed my mind on where it is and want to move it. It had fair roots when I got it so it's not just a clipping or is but had time to get a few roots.
But I'm thinking that if I cut the main stem just above where the second one comes off it, the main one will tansplant better to the new spot and
then the short one can get all the energy coming from the roots and start growin again.
The reason it's only one is I just can't buy what ever, when ever so I
will take a stem if offered especially if it's something I like.
But not wanting to harm it is making me ask if you think it's been in there long enough to trasnsplant/cut it ?
