Anyone know how to propagate Hygrophila salicifolia (common name willow leaf)? According to PlantGeek, it branches a lot, and propagates by lateral shoots. But mine has only one branch on quite a large stem, and I haven't seen any lateral shoots. It's the best growing plant I have now, so I'd like to propagate it.
 
It's been my experience with difficult species, when the main plant reachs the surface of the aquarium is when it starts to grow lateral shoots. I see this species is labeled as easy, so it may be different, but I would GUESS that it would do the same.
