oops didn't check my post, the emersed ones are grown below the waterline
but the stems/fronds whatever above the waterline or something like that.

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.
