Great thanxs dave...Now to plant it do I cut it off or will it fall off Im not sure what to do any onformation would help thanxs!

[dpatte]

let the amazons grow on the runner until they have substantial roots. Then you can decided if you want to cut them, or push the runner and its new plants into the gravel.

My ruffled sword... the plantlets are above the water level, growing emersed.

No roots... and I don't think they will develop roots unless I submerge the stalk again... or will they...

[Pisidan]

I see some roots on the one pictured a little white root..so im sure I will have one soon and I have 4 or 5 more growing as well.
