Got some elodea that's growing like... well, like a weed. Several inches of growth in the week and a half since I got it. I'd like to propagate it and use it to replace some of the tall plastic plants in my tank. I think I understand the general idea, but I have some questions.
My impression is, I can simply cut the stem wherever I feel is appropriate, and then stick that new piece in the substrate, and that plant will put down roots and continue to grow. Is this correct?
Will the old part that I cut grow back? Or, does cutting at a certain point effectively end growth on the old piece?
