Do I need to compost the babies or
the big parent plants?

I remove all those that was old periodically because:
1. This will help to remove nutrient from the pond, and discourage
algea grow.
2. Sludge attach on old plant root will remove at the same time.
3. Give more space for young plant to grow and take up nutrient from
water.
4. Old plant tend to give problem like starting disease due to
metabolism slow down.
