Healthy upper stems can be trimmed and replanted directly into the substrate. Regular trimming encourages additional side shoots and fuller growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1836\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNote: Myriophyllum elatinoides generally performs best in cooler, well-lit aquariums with stable water conditions and consistent fertilization. Supplemental CO2 can significantly improve growth density and overall appearance. Regular trimming helps maintain a compact, bushy shape and prevents lower stems from becoming sparse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mastah Betta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67679293538604,"sku":null,"price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8947\/4092\/files\/VividWaterMilfoilAgainstBlack.png?v=1793081909","url":"https:\/\/mastahbetta.com\/products\/water-milfoil","provider":"Mastah Betta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
