Bunched Aquarium Plants

We stock bunched stem plants, sold together in a weighted bundle ready to separate and plant as individual stems rather than as a single potted clump. They're one of the fastest ways to fill out the mid and background of a tank, and most will root quickly once planted into substrate. Because they grow quickly, regular trimming keeps them looking full rather than leggy and sparse, and the cuttings can be replanted too, so a single bunch goes further than it first looks. This range covers a wide variety of stem plants, from easy beginner picks to more colourful, demanding species.

Our Beginner Planting Guide covers how to plant and trim them so they stay full rather than leggy. If you'd rather start with something a little more established, our potted aquarium plants are worth a look too. Either way, get in touch if you're not sure which species will suit your tank.

Yes, that's one of the best things about them. Trim the tops off and replant them directly into the substrate, and most stem plants will root again and carry on growing.

It depends on the species. Many will grow fine without it given good light and nutrients, but faster-growing or more demanding stem plants will noticeably benefit from added CO2.
