How do I propagate my Anubias, crypts, and swords?

I can't speak the crypts and swords (sounds like a gang war) but with Anubias you just cut the rhizome when it's big enough. Make sure the section you cut has both roots and leaves though.

Crypts and swords send out runners that you can snip and replant. Or let them sprout and grow wherever they drop their roots. Sometime very thick crowns can be separated and replanted.

If you really want to propagate Crypts you can also grow them emersed and let them flower.

But they will also as was said do it themselves. Esp C wendtii :)

My crypts aren't wenditii but I can't recall the name. Or maybe they are and I can't remember.
