Default Planting tips?

What I do is judt drop them into a tank and see how I like it.
ThenI may move them around a bit. Igenerally don't und plants
from the "lead" (it's not lead) weights as the tissue damage
sets them back a bit, but when they grow to the waters surface
and thena bit more, I trim them 1/3 from the top then plant them
were I've finally decided I want them.

I think ammano does a frigging CAD drawing acurate to 1mm of where
he plants each stem, but, well, ya know, we don't hang much.

Dangit, warn me to put my coffee down before you do that! I love the
Amano "I planted 75 single stems of Rotala behind this rock." Did he
count???

The guy misses nothing. I about blew my coffee when I recently saw a
photo of one of his tanks with a few fish swimming by and the caption
read "Choreographed by Amano."
