I got a small pot of papyrus from the Milwaukee Aquarium Society auction last spring and dropped it in a shallow part of the pond, divided it soon after.
Every time a stem bends and the top leaf touches water, a new plant develops. Those new plants are what I have been adding to the tanks over the last few weeks.
And I have just brought the mother plant in for the winter, and divided it into another 3 plants.

Over the last week I have read both this thread and JK's all the way through. I had come across his a while ago but this inspired me to read both and get a clipping of my own. I have a clipping with 7 leaves I got yesterday evening. I have it in one of my wifes flower vases and to my surprise it is already growing small water roots. They are less than a mm however they have been growing for less than 24 hrs. It is the solid green kind and I plan on putting it in my 265 when I get it started up in the next week or so. I did not think roots would shoot out so soon. I know only 1 clipping won’t do much however I plan to get many more as well as some peace lilies.

Won't the roots eventually stick through the holes? That's what always happens in my pond, where I use the same sort of baskets. If the plants are toxic to fish, wouldn't the roots be also?

Yes, but that's what I want to happen, many members in this thread submerged the roots without the basket, as far as I know the plant and roots aren't toxic to fish, my Piranha nibble at them from time to time and they never had any reverse reactions. They are dangerous to house pets

Thanks everyone! Great ideas, motivational. I just used a breeder basket & it worked great. (breeder that I used trying to breed swordtails, mollies, etc.). I took a bunch of cuttings off of my overgrown houseplants (all Golden Queen Pothos) and viola! Instant planter completed.

BTW, please ignore my previous post. I thought I was the first to post after the original. Just didn't scroll down far enough. I'm still new to this. Now if I can just figure out how to start a thread I'll really be happy.
