riverpirate Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Anyone have experience in cloning swords? I have a couple swords that are amazing id like to share but dont know how to trim and clone. One is a gorgeous red sword and I dont want to end up killing it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Don't think cloning is the right word but I think propagation is more in order unless you have a sterile clean room @ your home. Swords will if conditions are right produce plantlets. Google is a friend. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=&q=propogate%20sword%20plant%20aquatic#q=propagate+sword+plant+aquatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 If the plant is large enough, often using a sharp knife/razor to cut the corm in 1/2 will do the trick. Alternatively, adjust your photoperiod by as little as 1/2hr and it should flower. Each of those flowers will grow into a plantlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
