Quick Answers

How do I plant bunch plants?
Separate stems gently if needed and plant the lower portion into the substrate. Remove damaged lower leaves before planting if they would be buried.
Do bunch plants need CO2?
Many bunch plants grow without CO2, but stronger lighting, nutrients, and CO2 can improve growth and color for more demanding species.
Can I trim and replant bunch plants?
Yes. Many stem-style bunch plants can be trimmed, and healthy tops can be replanted to create fuller growth.
Are bunch plants good for shrimp?
Yes. Dense bunch plants provide cover, grazing surfaces, and hiding places for shrimp and shrimplets.
Are bunch plants covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Yes. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery before trimming or replanting.

About This Collection

Bunch Plants

Bunch plants are live aquarium plants sold as grouped stems or portions that can be planted directly into the substrate. They are useful for adding quick height, color, and nutrient uptake to planted freshwater aquariums. Many bunch plants grow quickly under stable lighting and regular nutrients, making them helpful for new planted tanks and aquascapes. Trim and replant healthy tops as they grow to create denser backgrounds and fuller plant groups. Live bunch plants are covered by our Live Plant Arrival Guarantee. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery, before trimming or replanting.
