How to propagate Coontail

Coontail is a submerged aquatic plant of the Coontail family, genus Snapdragon, perennial herb, alias fine grass, soft grass, ichthyophaga.The whole plant is dark green. The stem is slender, branched. If you want to grow Coontail in fish-bearing vessels, they must be transferred to the tank after the Coontail have grown to a certain size. How to propagate Coontail? Coontail has two propagation methods.

Sexual propagation of Coontail

1 sexual reproduction of Coontail, namely flowering, seed-bearing Coontail. The whole coontail plants can survive below the surface. The stem can be more than one meter long, whorls of linear green leaves, no roots, but sometimes they produce rootlike varieties of leaves. The stem is fixed to the bottom. Flowers are unisexual and very small. Flowers and males grow on the same plant. Coontail can survive in light deprived environments, but grows slowly. It also grows slowly at low temperatures. It is very easy for Coontail to be mistaken for another plant when the leaves are thickened. Achenes are produced in the fall, sink to the bottom, and sprout again in the spring. In the tropics they can grow for years, forming thick "forests". 

Asexual propagation of Coontail  

When the plant grows and then separates into new plants. If you split the Coontail in two, it can grow into two. Like water grass, asexual reproduction is much more developed than sexual reproduction, so they mainly rely on asexual reproduction, not only reproductive speed is fast, but also more suitable to reproduce in the water.
