From other threads I think it obvious that I'm a newbie as to a fully planted tank.
Since I recently planted my tank the things are doing things... I think good things.
The following is the top portion of what I assume is a sword plant of some type. To me it looks like the top should be snipped off and planted as it seems to be sending out roots. It also has a pod or bud below the part sending roots.
Thing is that if I should snip and plant how do I do so? My guess is that I would snip just above the lower branch that has the bud and then snip off again just below the roots and just plant in the substrate. Would this be correct?
Then there is the bud thing. Is it going to open to be a leaf or is it going to be a flower?
YES! I AM dumb on aquatic plants. I'm surprised that I have yet to kill the things as I have a very black thumb.
