How to grow/ plant and trim MM into a bush likie shape?

[branong]

Hi, i have always been curious how did aquatic plant displays have such nice shapes in the plant bush.

can someone shed light on the techniques from planting it into the soil (stalk by stalk, or whole bunch into the soil) as well as the trimming.
thanks

an example of the bush would be like this.

easy, plant plenty of them from the start and trimming

You need to let the MM grow long and bushy first.
When it is time to trim them, trim it to look like a round or oval shape and let them recover.

btw guys, where can I find this MM plants n App...tried C328 don't have, previously I used to get my plants from Colourful...

i think east ocean always found. Maybe at polyart too although in emersed form.
MM is a weed - grows literally like weed.
havent seen app though

just trim and replant if you dont have alot to start. mm grow very fast.

when you shape it. account for growth
also need take note the inside normally abit botak one...

Sent from my GT-N7105

ic.. inside is botak because it doesnt get any light? or is it because of the replanting?

another question is if the MM is tall, can i trim off and replant the top for multiplying effect?
thanks

its more towards lighting, but replanting plays a small part..

yes, i did that same as you mention. started with a small pot... decom time forgot to take some and farm.. now have to find time go lfs..

Hi,

Is this MM plant also referred to as baby tears or Micranthemum umbrosum?

I think it is Micranthemum Micranthemoides.....as in the abbreviation M.M.
