Cabomba Offshoots?

[emsfactory]

Hi all,
first post here,

I think I have some cabomba aquatica, ready to be corrected though.

Some of the branches have long shoots growing downwards from the main stem.

What are these? I cant find any pics or info.

i took a pic but they aren't that easy to make out.

Cheers.

Theyre just roots.

Theyre just roots.

Why are they growing from so far up?

Could I cut under these roots and re plant them?

Most stem plants will produce roots at the base of each leaf given enough time, its just that this one does it far quicker. Yes you can cut the top off and plant it in the substrate, then you have double the number of plants
