Fish Fanatic
Three of my amazon swords have all decided to start thowing off plantlet stalks (similar to household spider plant) at around the same time. The question I have is quite simple really - how and when do I remove them for replanting. The stalks have smaller plants along their length. Can I cut off the stalk, cut away the excess from the base of the baby plants and replant or do I need to wait until they are a certain size - will they start to produce roots?
One of the stalks (on a paniculatus) has a plant with several 2-3" leaves about 3" for the parent plant with smaller, newer plantlets further along the stem and another (an osiris) seems to have several baby plants all together (at the water surface and growing emerged). If I remove the stalk to get the biggest baby, will the others (2 -3 1" leaves) be developed enough to replant/survive?
Sorry for what might be a silly question but I would like to keep as many plantlets for friends etc as possible.
Whilst I thing about it - could the osiris survive out of water as a regular houseplant (seeing as how it's currently growing "in air") or does it still need to be partially submerged?
