There was a thread some time ago, forgot who’s it was… pretty sure it was Amanda’s greenhouse fun thread but I’m too lazy to go through it to find out. Anyways, Amanda and AaronT were discussing their piptospatha perakensis and how it wasn’t propagating for them. Guess what? I checked on my emersed setup which I haven’t touched since the beginning of summer and found a baby plantlet of my piptospatha with a single leaf! I didn’t want to disturb the plant and dig it up but from the way it’s growing, the plant must propagate like crypts: by sending runners below the surface.
If I have time this week I’ll take pictures but my emersed tank is absolutely horrid looking. I had massive die off from lack of care/dehydration and there were patches of fungus growing. I rehydrated the substrate a couple months ago and now the tank is just growing wild. The fungus went unchecked though and covered up a great deal of stuff…
Now if only it’d send up a spathe.
