    How do you guys plant those stem plants (without roots) I gather it is not safe to plant it with the metal ring?

    pluck out the leaves from the last few nodes and stuff it into the gravel. Roots will grow from the buried nodes in a few days.

    Welcome to AQ

    Remove the lead, I cut off the bottom to the height I want before I plant them, pluck few of the leaves nodes near bottom and new roots will grow from there.
    ...I love rubies too ...
