Amazon sword plant reproduction question

[Reventon]

both of my amazon sword plants on the end of the stem it looks like another plant is growing on it, It has 2 roots. What should I do with it? Can I eventually cut it off the stem and plant it or is this normal in amazon sword plants?

 

[thomeski]

I would say so, thats how i propagate mine

 

[Reventon]

So should I leave it alone or cut it off and replant it?

Wait until the roots get about 4 inches and then you can peel/cut it off of the runner and just plant it.

 

[Reventon]

there is one root longer than 4 inches and then like 2 tiny ones

 

[Tropicalfishking]

Wait a little longer then, the more roots the easier it will be to keep the plant rooted in the substrate.

 

[Reventon]

ok, about how many is the minimum, because it has like 4 and when those get past 4 inches should I cut it? or should I wait till theres like 10

 

[Tropicalfishking]

Yes, when it has about 4 roots that are 4 inches you should cut it.

What kind of substrate are you going to plant it in?

Normally on my swords I let the daughter plants grow for a while until the plant and its roots are friarly large. The I just cut the shoot and plant the new daughter plant.

Its gravel but a little more fine than most
