How does Aponogeton Crispus propagate?

[oqs]

recently my A. Crispus send out stalks to the surface with tiny corn like buds. wonder if this is the flower? and also how does the plant actually propagate?

Some of the flowers will turn into small plantlets.

Yep. When the flowers dry up, I think they form the seeds. Don't worry about propagation. After a while you will see plantlets floating around in your tank.

yepp.....these tiny corn-like buds will eventully fall off from the long stem
and sink onto the bottom of your tank. After about 4 days, roots will start to grow from these seedlings and within a few weeks you should be able to see leaves growing out.
