Sword Plants


My sword plants are constantly sending up runners towards the surface. Even the small ones that I've planted to propagate new plants are all sending up runners.

If I start cutting the runners off, will it cause the plant to spend more time actually growing instead of trying to reproduce?

Yes. The plant will put more energy into plant mass and leaves.
