I hav a large clump of ....... which is sending out heaps of runners and i would like to know how to cut them so I can grow more. The name of the plant I can't write as the key on my keyboard won't work but it is named like the second word in our countrys name... please....

zealandia?

Yes thats the one

what i do , is cut the chains every 5-8 plants (depending on how big each plant is) then spread the chains out evenly and soon they take over

so you can uplift them once you have cut them?

yeah

Probably best done with a pair of tweezers and just pushing them into the substrate, rather than trying to dig a little hole, place the plant, try and cover the roots and then watch it start floating away when you are meticulously trying to place the next one... :-?

watch it start floating away when you are meticulously trying to place the next one... :-?

I'm pretty sure that's one of only two ways to place plants. The other being "Watch your fish dig/knock it loose so it floats away..."

Thanks for the advice , sounds like a plan.
