Water Sprite?

[TKOS]

I just went to the LOF to pick up some plants for my new tank. I asked for an easy plant to grow and got some Water Sprite. Does anyone know anything about this type of plant? Esp how do you propogate it - cuttings?

Thanks

It's basically a floating plant that, with some light will propagate itself. After a while you'll start to see little plantlets growing off the leaves. Some folks plant them in the substrate, but IME they end up floating to the surface. And easy plant, good starter. Good for oxygenating.

A very easy plant IMO - shoot, I am growing them like crazy in my low light, non CO2 tank

I have them both floating as well as several planted in the substrate. Len - I actually have no problems with them growing in the substrate. They haven't come loose yet and grow well.

Thanks a lot!! I was hoping for a plant that liked to be rooted but this is a bonus that it likes both. Great!
