I bought some of the above earlier in the week and am getting round to planting it this afters...it has clearly been grown emersed, i'm now going to seem a little dumb, but does it need trimming right back before i plants it. I have looked all over the net and theres not much on this plant. I was thinking that i would trim it back before planting and just plant the top???
 
Plant is straight as it is mate, stem by stem. No need to hack it back.

If you have appropriate conditions (I'm sure you have) it will adapt with very little or no die-off and the leaves will gradually change shape, colour and texture.

Lovely plant, by the way.
 
As George mentioned, plant it as it is.

It's a 'hard stemmed' plant (as in stiff) and remains so after transformation. It'll grow in shade, but stays a greenish color, in higher light, turns crimson. Quite easy actually. :thumbup:
