Is there any way I can reproduce my Vallisneria?

[cab395]

Hi everyone, I only have a few healthy vallisneria, maybe 3 or 4. They're still small and pretty short. My ultimate plan is to have them dense and tall, but I was wondering if I could propagate them somehow so I don't have to buy a bunch of plants to make it thicker.

I want to reproduce them, if it is possible. Is it?

Been doing some reading and I'm seeing they send out runners. Is this my best bet?

vals will propagate themselves by sending runners under the substrate to come up in a nearby location as another baby val plant. if given the right conditions, you'll have tons in no time! lol.

this lil 2.5 gallon tank started with only 6 to 8 small vals.





here is the same tank just a few months later. i didn't add any new plants at all.

Give it time as already said, they will reproduce on their own.
