Emersed Project: Rotala 'bonsai''

What would you do with trimming stalks of aquatic plants after tank maintenance? Put for sale? Or giving them for free to fellow hobbyist? Or to throw them away?

There is another option: planting them emersed. 😊

I would like to write down step-by-step guide for planting Rotala 'bonsai' emersed for your reference. This plant is beautiful underwater. Below are some of the photos taken from my tank before trimming.
