You can replant cuttings and also grow it on emersed if you want.

Seconding Berlioz, in my experience all Hygrophilas are very reliable for veg propagation. Cuttings is about the same for most stem plants, cut under a node, trim off the lower leaves and place into the soil.

What is the size of your tank? When I bought my H. 'Araguaia' for my 60 cm I went for a single tissue culture pot and had so much left over I couldn't do anything but stick the rest into the propagator! Those pots don't mess around with portions.

Thanks, that should be alright then quite easy if its propogation. 30l tank but might use some in my 200l as well.
