dally Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 when i got home from school (boarding school) ther other week i noticed a strange leaf like thing protruding from out of the top of my tank. oh no i thought. i ran over to investigat, thinking that some nob had stuck something in there. but to my amazment i found 2 flower stems. i looked in the tank to see that they were from my apponigiton (mega typo) crispus (another one no doubt.) Its quadtripled in size since i left. i know this is a question not offen asked on fnzas but here it qoes. 'where do the babys come from' =p i heard that they usually just self pollinate. also that i could brush a cotton bud over the 2... but what after that? do little plants just start growing of the flower or what? shot guys hope you can help me. if theres lots babys then ill be happy to give a few away. =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 My aponogeton crispus's did the same thing. All I did was brush them so the seeds fell onto the water. A few weeks later I had a new plant growing. You could try putting all of the seeds together into an ice cream container filled with some of your substrate and water and see what happens. Good luck.
