I also use the lead weights without any identifiable adverse effects. And I
also like to periodically uproom my stem plants and replant only the tops.

Does anyone use lead weights to keep stem plants from floating around?
Are
they safe?

I recently saw some in a store, but neglected not to get any. I'm sick of
constantly having to pull up my stem plants and then replanting them in
the
gravel. I have to clip them every 4-5 days or they'll take over the tank.
I would love to just wrap a lead weight around them and drop them in.
