Juz leave the shoots alone. It should turn into lttle plantlets.
What's the plant on the right? The one with the curvy leavels?
Mine has a shoot which has a flower at the end. What should I do with it? Cut it off or leave it?

Don't be afraid of my duck!
I think he's referring to the one on the left? That's Aponogeton ulvaeus. But the horemani looks good though.
Hmmmm... Marcus,
Think you're right.. E. horemanni don't send out shoots rite?

Ah, no wander the pigture luuk familyear! .....
Steve, when you want to identify plants, please check through sites like this: www.dennerle.com
or www.tropica.com.
For the plant I think you are looking for info about: search for "Aponogeton".
I don't think it is a A. Ulvaceus. A. Ulvaceus has lighter green leaves and more twisted. The plant in the pic is A. Crispus, although may be a A. Crispus hybrid. Best way to find it out is look at the flower stalk. If the end of the flower stalk is single then it is a A. Crispus but if the end is splitted into 2 like a crescent then it is an A. Ulvaceus.
If you wanna propagate the plant, use a brush you use for water color painting and brush the flower end a few times to self pollinate it. A few days later you will find seed like fruits on the stalk. Once the seed is matured it will drop into the water and you will find baby plant later on.
Joo
yup, they propagate growing side shoots/runners..
Simon,
Aponogeton sp. do not propagate by runners.... They propogate by seed or tuber.
Sorry Simon, you may be refering to the E.horemanii ... []
it doesn't look like crispus to me
too wavy and twisted
crispus is more straight with the undulating parts at the leave edge
but then, the pic isn't closeup, can't tell for sure
I'm sorry for the confusion guys...Must have been too tired.
I'm refering to the plant on the left. It's from Teo's 9ft.
It seems to have some yellowish powdery substance that can be brushed off. Is that the pollen? I don't wanna my whole tank to be filled with little plantlets leh...hiaks, how do I propogate it properly?
anyway, i checked tropica and i think the plant is aponogeton ulvaceus
Orrh... the one on the left... then it is as you said A. ulvaceus. It will flower quite frequently.

Yes, those yellowish powder are the pollens. Just use the brush to brush the pollen all over the flower tip. Later on the very same place, you will see the fruits. You can harvest the seeds and germinate them else where.
Cool! okay thanx! Will try that out!----------------
