Budzilla Enthusiast Posts: 288 Kudos: 197 Votes: 90 Registered: 18-Jul-2006 | Anacharis doesn't need any roots to grow, i suggest that you float it for a few days so that it gets a jumpstart on its growth and it may grow roots. It may not get roots at all, but it will still grow, after a few days of floating just bury the bottom of the stems into the substrate. -Vincent |

Yet when it is established in a good plant substrate they also will be a good root system. As suggested let it float. I would let it float for at least two weeks. Be extemly careful when planting as some of the new roots can easly be damaged.
