	Advantitious Plantlets
plankton Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 22 Votes: 7 Registered: 17-Jul-2007	What is the safest way to remove these from the main plant?. Also, what is the best way to prepare them for planting as separate plants? I've got an enourmous sword that has a runner with about 12 plantlets on it. Thanks FP'rs Jay

Thanks. Jay
