sexual reproduction of red ozelot

[aspen]

i want to try sexual reproduction of this plant, but i'm unable to find a source that states that it is be to be done. can anyone verify this hybrid sword can sexually reproduce? (pollenating a flower and creating viable seeds.)

I have had this plant before, lots of plantlets growing on the vine and lots of flowers. No known pollination though.

so this plant is sexually sterile then, right?

I couldn't say either way, just no pollination that I know of.

maybe i'll try it with a normal green sword and move up from there. i'm going to do something with a 65 long and emersed plants, like 1/3 of the top of the tank dry. i'd also like to to quadricostatus. so maybe i'll do a bunch of different ones. have you ever done this with aquarium plants? what crops do you actively farm?

I have had a normal green amazon sword put out plantlets, it also bloomed with nice flowers at the surface. I had a red rubin that never did anything as far as reproduction goes. I had a red ozelot that flowered and produced plantlets constantly, and the 3 red flames that I have that flower and produce plantlets constantly.

I grow a few crops for seed:

Turf Type Tall Fescue (used for baseball, soccer, football, and playgrounds, mostly)

Sugar beet seed (the seed I produce will be used for the growing the root for sugar prduction)

Wheat (flour production)

Vegetable Production:

Sweet Corn & Snap Beans (grown for a freeze packing plant)
