Planting ambulia cuttings?

[mandimoron]

I have some ambulia in my 10 gal that is growing like crazy, and I'd like to try taking some cuttings and replanting them in some bare spots in the tank's substrate. Is there any trick to getting new plants from cuttings? Or do I just snip off a branchy thing, stick it in the substrate and let it do its own thing?

Sounds right to me.

Hmm. Alright, I'll give it a go; thanks. As an experiment, I shall try planting both an older branchy thing, and a younger branchy thing, and see which grows best. Hopefully my platies will refrain from trying to eat the cuttings before any roots develop. Stupid platies (but they're so cute!).
