Vallis and runners

[Angry_Platy]

I have 2 bunches of vallis in my tank. One of them has sent out 2 runners so far (I have had them 2 weeks)....and the other one runner. One of the runenrs off the first plant has allready started to grow about 2 inches from the original bunch, there are 3 little stalks growing up The other runner has only just rooted itself (and I don't mean that to be rude)....

Is sending out runners the sign of a healthy val plant? The reason I ask is that the plant seems to be loosing a lot of leaves/stems. I would think that if the plant were healthy then it wouldn't be losing leaves.....so why is it sending out runners then. Is it going to totally die and it is reproducing before that happens?

JUST Curious

Well, about the runners, that is usually a sign your plant is healthy. the shedding of the leaves.... almost all plants (I know about swords for sure) shed their leaves once a year and regrow new ones, this might be what it is. Don't worry, i don't think that if it is sending out runners it is dying. let us know.
