FlyingFishKeeper Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, randomly what percentage of the plants in the hobby are essentially the same genetically speaking? Since a lot of the time plants like water sprite, anubias, pearl weed, etc are all propagated by just cutting parts off and planting them. I'm excited for what some people from the industry, like @Cory have to say about this. Edited March 5, 2021 by FlyingFishKeeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 A lot of plants are grown by tissue cultures so good number will be clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Possibly a majority of aquarium plants in the wild are clones naturally. Everything from water sprite to hornwort to duckweed almost never flowers naturally. Think of all the plants that grow from runners also. Cloning is just natures way of making more of a good thing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
