Because of its unique, moss-like appearance, it is commonly referred to as the \"stream bogmoss.\"  This easy-to-grow plant does well in medium lighting or higher.

Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.\u003cbr\u003e3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to plant each stem deeply, at least 2 to 3 inches into the ground, which means the substrate may cover some of the bottom leaves.\u003cbr\u003e4. Don’t plant the stem plants all in a single bunch but rather individually with a little space between so that the roots have some room to grow.\u003cbr\u003e5. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the stem at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. If the stems have no roots, some people will float them at the surface until they develop roots and then plant them into the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Grow Mayaca Fluviatilis \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— \u003cem\u003eMayaca fluviatilis \u003c\/em\u003ecare is very easy, so start by using medium lighting between 20-35 PAR to prevent \"leggy\" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). \u003cbr\u003e— Why is my \u003cem\u003eMayaca fluviatilis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eplant melting? This stem plant is grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form. The plant you receive may be half-converted and still need time to adjust to life under water. To help speed up the transition, provide plenty of light and nutrients to encourage new leaves to sprout as the old leaves melt away. Consider floating the stems at the surface until it grows more roots and can be easily planted into the substrate.\u003cbr\u003e— Why is my \u003cem\u003eMayaca fluviatilis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eturning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. Mayaca leaves going pale to white often indicates iron deficiency within the aquarium, so take care to dose a liquid iron supplement such as Easy Iron for best growth.\u003cbr\u003e— How to trim \u003cem\u003eMayaca fluviatilis\u003c\/em\u003e: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Propagate Mayaca Fluviatilis\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location.
