In the aquarium, Amazon frogbit propagates vegetatively through stem fragmentation. This process allows mature Amazon frogbit plants to grow smaller plants / plantlets which are set off through ramets / stolons which then detach, grow and develop into a new plant.

How does frogbit spread?

Means of Introduction or Spread: European frog-bit is often introduced to new water bodies when plants or turions are transported on boats, trailers and recreational gear. Once established, drifting mats of vegetation can spread to connected waters. High Risk Pathways: boating, hunting.

Does frogbit multiply?

Amazon frogbit reproduces sexually through flower pollination and seed production, although this can be difficult to reproduce in the home aquarium. In an aquarium, most reproduction will occur through plant stem fragmentation.
