Hi Everyone,

I have an Echinodorus ozelot sp. plant shooting up a big spike in my 90 gallon:

Is this going to be a flower? Is there anything I should do? First time I have seen this and I am fairly new to this.

Thanks,

Roy

Thanks everyone for the advice! Will just have to wait and see what happens. Very exciting for me . . . what a cool hobby! Never thought these plants would survive long let alone reproduce! I am definitely hooked now.

Thanks Everyone for the replies.

This shoot emerged from the water for a few days and then fell back in due to the weight.

It has produced 4 daughter plants (the biggest 3-4" w/ about 5 leaves). Also--another spike has recently emerged from the water.

What should I do? If I remove the daughter plants should I cut the spike at the base or near the first daughter plant?

Thanks!

Roy
