sumthin_fishy  Enthusiast Posts: 237 Kudos: 314 Votes: 16 Registered: 13-Aug-2004   | hi i was wondering if i just cut a part of the ribozome off to propogate this plant. if so how big a chunk should ii be cutting off? also the plant is quite well anchored to the driftwood, do i just rip off the ribozome? |

Tie these to a rock or driftwod with fine fishing line. Then place it in a well lit location in your tank leave and forget it.

You got to love them! |

Mostly the nana, but several others as well. The only problem with using a piece with just one leaf, is that if any damage happens to that one leaf, it will die. Better to snip a piece with several leaves on it. HTH.... There is always a bigger fish... |
