So this is the first Amazon sword I’ve had and I’ve read about propagating them. Is this a maternal stem? Noticed growing new sprouts off of it over the past few days thought it was going to just be another lead then poof there’s like 5 of them stemming off. It’s the one smack dab in the center

So I noticed that in a couple of my tanks, some of the java fern is propagating through the usual method: cloning itself through the spores on the leaf. But here's the interesting thing: a few ferns are propagating through their roots. I've never seen, read, or heard about this before. There are...

So I was kind of thinking about growing and perhaps selling my own Christmas Moss, does anyone know the proper way to propagate this moss? I thought about filling the bottom of a tote with worm castings, placing the moss on top, and then covering the tote with plastic wrap with the daily...

I have an Echinodorus osiris which has grown a long flower stem, coming two feet out of the water, which now has lots of shoots on. How do I deal with it to get some new plants from this? Should the stem be under or out of the water? Any help gratefully received.

Hi, I just noticed that both a windelov and a java in my tank are propagating from the tips. I thought these plants generally propagated from the root base. Should I cut these off and tie them all over a new tank? Or are they some kind of parasitic plant that just happens to be rooting...

Hey there - tried to search but could not find a specific answer to my simple question. It is also tough since most people refer to HC as "HC" which makes it not come up in the search function. I am currently working on a foreground of Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC) in my aquarium. In regards...
