Submerged plants are plants grown completely under water and are considered
true aquatic plants while emersed plants are grown just below the waterline
usually in high humidity/misty environment which can survive submerged for a
given period of time before flaking it. Submersed ones are probably ones
that grow emersed and end up being submerged during heavy rains/floods and
then grow emersed again I think.

I have a sword the has produced a stem with baby swords. When and how do i
go about propagating these.
Currently there are no roots.
Secondly, Could someone please explain the differences between submerged
and
submersed, etc in a planted tank?
Thanks.

I find that my swords get "tired" and need to be replaced after a two,
maybe
three years maximum. However, during those few years they have
propagated
so prolifically (in a submerged state, mind you) that there are plenty
of
replacements.

Amazon's are just one example of plants that are not accustomed to
being
submerged year-round.

Maybe they aren't, but they do just fine submersed. I've had my
Amazon
swords
for over a year now, entirely submerged, and they are still growing
like
crazy,
not yellow or weak at all.
