One of my Compacta Swords...

Has thrown off a runner with three babies attached. They are getting bigger everyday and I am wondering what is the best way to establish these guys as independent plants? They are still tiny enough that they would have a hard time going into the substrate by themselves. Any suggestions on how to nurture them?

I let mine grow to a decent size where they started to weigh down the runner, which is how they propogate in the wild. Then I just cut them off and replanted them. I had two plants and they are both starting to shoot off runners now.

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks, I'll do that.

You know, I love fish and all, but I don't think I get anymore satisfaction than seeing my plants growing these days.

i feel the same way.... watching the plant growth is crazy.
