Amazon Sword

One of the leaves form my Amazon sword was disengaged , I actually didn't realize it . The leave was already floating around the tank , I keep saying that I need to remove it but its already two weeks went by (me being busy and all ) .

To my surprise the leave still green and no sign of yellowish or anything like that. The leave also grew its own roots at the end of its stem this is new to me .

That is very interesting! Was the stem of the leaf snapped, or was it like pulled pulled away from the main plant at the base

just plant it, it mightve took some of the rhizome with it, and never actually rotted, just got damaged or something. (like a potato you can split it up and still root /sprout it)

I would just plant it. Make sure to provide it with nutrition. (Root tabs)

Exactly will do just that ... will plant it tomorrow and see how it goes seems that I need more aqua soil to top off in the main tank .

I think that they send out runners under the substrate and then pop up and start a new plant, once the plant is big enough it can be separated from the original one. I just read that somewhere online
