dwarf sag runner


i have dwarf sag sending out runner almost everywhere in my nano tank.

can i lift up the runners and cut them off by the roots?

I don't really want them all over the place..i want them in the back of the tank.

then toss the runner into a tank and let it grow i guess

Yes you can cut the runners off and replant somewhere else.

This is going to be a constant problem; you should use some sort of barrier in the substrate (like clean plastic) to prevent the spread of runners.

In my experience, they melt if left floating too long so get a tupperware or something and fill it with some leftover substrate and plant it there temporarily if you want. This thing grows like a weed in optimal conditions so most times its compost :p
