Aquarium Advice Addict
Well my nana has done fine all by itself but I was thinking about making one myself. The splits are all at the tail end of the rhizome where the original plant was cut before I got it. It is making a very nice full and thick plant but the front is not.
I may or may not decide to force a split but if I decide to, what is the best way to do it? How sharp should the knife be, exacto type knife? Where should the slit be made; between two leaves, directly in the side, maybe in the front? Where the newest leaves come out the front there really isn't much of a rhizome to say, how far back should the slit be made to prevent damaging the rhizome and not getting a rhizome split? Should a split even be made if the plant is doing so well making it's own toward the back of the plant, maybe better to just let it do it on it's own?
