I tried my best to give you as much as I can since my other plants you got already or came from you. Had to trim the willow tree flat top. She'll grow again.

Going to clip my Pogostemon Stellatus 'broadleaf' for the 1st time. It's the middle stem in the picture.
I offer this to anyone interested. It will be a stem around 8" long, one big starter at the top, and 2-3 other side shoots. It has roOts growing out  the side off the main stem. With good substrate, and medium to strong light and perhaps a root tab it should take right off. It could also be split into 3 separate plants.

I could also stuff one more of these plants in the bOx with the Pogostemon Stellatus, or if you want instead of the Pogostemon Stellatus choose starts off this list.

Star Grass

Ludwigia Repens X Arcuata

Rotala 'Indica' Rotundifolia and Pogostemon Stellatus 'Octopus'

I would be happy with a 2 or 3 inch side clip of the broadleaf if no one else wants to claim the whole kit 'n kaboodle. I have the rotala you sent previously me in 4 different tanks.

Wes was generous with moss to me as well. I'm sending him Monosolenium in return. It will finally be under control again.

Coolness. Let me come up with a list of offerings. I have to look to see what needs trimming besides the usual. I'll try to put something nice in it but it seems most of us participating have already traded with each other... We need some fresh blood!

It has been a slightly crazy couple of days. My girlfriend is getting on a plane tonight. I'll figure it out tomorrow and let everyone know.

A lot of the plants at Pet Smart are not true aquatic plants! Do your research before purchase I can't tell you how many times I have heard I bought this beautiful plant from pet smart and it died. If its not a true aquatic it will rot and die

Here is my 'Plant it Forward' offering;

Pogostemon stellatus 'Narrow Leaf' (couple of sprigs),

Najas guadalupensis 'Guppy Grass',

Hygrophila polysperma (3 or 4 sprigs),

1 very small Windelov Java fern,

Fissidens fontanus (Which I recently learned is also called Phoenix Moss. I had never seen or heard that before.)

I don't have much in the way of Fissidens but what I'm going to do is grab a few strands and tie them into a little bunch with cotton thread. That should be enough to start a colony if you don't have it. It's more or less how I got it. The few strands I received were pulled into one of those hollow ceramic bio filter medium things to weigh it down. I took it out and slid it up a 'splinter' on a log and it likes it there. In a year, I should have plenty.

I guess no one wants it. Here is a last resort bump.

I'll send links to what they are. You can trust I won't send sick plants.

I've been mislabeling This isn't 'Narrow leaf' but 'Octopus'
