Zachary Brown Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So i was just wondering while im sitting here in math class if anyone could lend hand on this. About a month ago i bought an Apontageton Bonivienas, at least i think thats how its spelled. Anyway i was wondering if anyone knew how to propagate these plants, and also big daddy cory if your reading this do you have plans to ship them like the tiger lily?

Daniel Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 In the past my Aponogeton plants have flowered and produces fertile seeds. It was a slow but very effective manner of propagation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braids Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've read that you can fertilize the blossoms by rubbing two blossoms together or use a paint brush to pollinate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Yes, I think that works. As long as pollen can get from the anthers to stigma on the pistil (kind a looks like a little vase with a pointy end), then the magic happens. Many plants can’t self fertilize, but lucky for us lots of Aponogetons can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian K Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Some aponogetons go through dry seasons where the plant dies back and needs to rest, so don't freak out if that happens and pitch the bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
