I always "cut" the babies "loose" from the "mother plant" and they continue
to multiply and send out "babies" of their own on both water hyacinths and
water lettuce
Gale :~)


" I have 2 water hyacinths I bought at a local nursery about a month ago or
so. They have grown and are "branching" out into smaller plants, however,
they do not seem to want to break away. Will they or should they? Should
I
cut them apart?

I also have some water lilies I just planted. They are growing new
leaves,
but only one is green. The rest are more of a brownish/red. Is this
normal? I haven't put any fertilizer in them yet, was going to do so this
week.

Thanks!
