thanks but what did u have to write to get the picture there wat did i do rong and wat should i do

I just right clicked on the actual image at the website you had listed, copied the link location, came back to here and clicked the 'Insert Image' button and then pasted in whatever was copied from earlier. I didn't have to type anything. Your link had

link[img]

It should have been:

[ img ]link[ / img ] (remove spaces!)

the '/' is the important bit.

i just wanted to know how should i cut the eusteralis and the ceratopteris so i can cut and plant them again in another space and they will go i think this is callled propagation or to propograte?

I would likely cut it with sharp scissors just above a leaf node/joint then trim the bottom leaves off the new cutting and plant it as normal. The old bit should sprout new leaves/shoots and the new one should root. Same goes for most stem plants.

Generally I now cut plants quite low down towards the gravel. Cutting them too close to the surface sometimes means they don't grow much at all for days until new shoots appear and this can make them good algae magnets (plus looks a bit untidy). Cutting them a few inches or so above the gravel line means they are not close to the light so are not algae magnets plus any new shoots look better (no cut stem ends right in your eye-line!) - often doing this will make the plants bush up, usually you will get two or more shoots coming from each cut point on the old stem.

That plant you have isnt eusteralis stella, its an easy mistake to make, i know, i made the same one. Its actualy Lymnophila Arimantica. My plant is now fully emersed in a house bamboo pot and is ready to flower. Loverly plant. It will grow from a fragment of broken leaf or from a stem fragmen providing it has some node and internode it will grow.

how do i propogate ceratopteris thalictroiddes............................. i want to cut and then replant the cuttings or will they not gro.....

 

[arif_93]

just had a lil trim see wat u think :

i moved the marsilea hirsuta from the back to the front and i took 2 trimming from 2 stems of eusteralis stellata and plant near the filter which will hopefully root and grow.

can a mod also move this to the planted tank journals page plz thanks....

how do i propogate ceratopteris thalictroiddes

It grows small plantlets on mother plants; you can't just stick any old bit in the substrate... It's a fern.

 

[arif_93]

so what do i do
