Penny Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was wondering if anyone knows what my Amazon sword is up to? Based on non aquatic plants, to me it looks like a flower spike.. it's growing really fast... I'd guess 1-2 inches a day. Is there anything I need to do? Like more/less light? I'm assuming it must be happy 😃 I'm so excited by it, even if I don't know what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Pearl Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I just planted my tanks about a week ago and can't wait for it to grow in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Green Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 What you have is a mother plant. very good. Let it develop the babies on the shoot . When you are satisfied with there size. and roots are developed on the babies. Trim them off and plant in the tank. Free plants. Leave some of the shoot an it may develop more babies . Good luck Al M 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first experiences with Amazon sword were not as favorable. Root tabs saved my plants and opinions of this plant, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Wow, thank you! It's grown up and out of the tank by about 5" now, I hope thats ok.. I'm a bit limited for space in my little tanks. I guess it would be a shame if I had to get another one.. or two, to house my babies! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seized Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 That is known as a spike. After awhile the spike will srout baby plants. Then you can pull the off gently and plant them and start all over again with the others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
