On one of my regular outings to pet stores , in search for something new and interesting , I came upon a tank with flowering aponogetons. They were sold as undulatus, but I've learned since that undulatus rarely flowers . It would be safe to assume that by the color of the flower , the leaf size , the fact that it was a single flower ; that it was a crispus . I took twoplants home and planted them in my 55 gallon tank . Once planted , the whole plant including the flower were underwater.

I noticed about 2 weeks later that one flower had turned to seed . I snipped it off and placed it on the tank to dry for about 1 week . Then I took off the seeds and placed them in a container on top of a tank , where I am using an elbow lamp , so the seeds were getting a fair amount of light . I noticed that the seeds were growing about 3 days later . Once the seeds had 2 shoots , I moved them to a container that had 1"of peat moss and 2.5" of water.

When the new plant had 4 leaves I planted it in a pot moss colored with peat moss covered with gravel and put it in an unheated tank with florescent light . I had one plant survive and it is doing well , but growing slowly There are many different ways to grow seeds, seeds , this is just one way I've tried with marginal success.
