Runner: A horizontal stem growing just above the surface of the gravel and rooting at its nodes.
Runners: Many aquarium plants, especially foreground and Sword plant species produce outgrowths known as runners. These new shoots are formed on stems and usually grow along the substrate or within the substrate.

Seeds, runners and side shoots
Comments:
A very easy plant to keep if conditions are good. If conditions change rapidly, cryptocoryne melt may occur. Cryptocoryne melt is when the the leaves rot away.
One Ocean Runner 3500 (in the sump) and one Ocean Runner 6500 as a stand alone pump. Total water flow entering the main tank: 10.000 l/h (14 x water volume). An additional 1850 l/h make a loop in the sump.

Uhm, I do beg the differ.
Fast reproduction by runners; can create a lawn on large enough tank. Small plants; nice foreground display.
Lemna (duckweed, green plague) Tiny (1/4") plant with a pair of leaves and a root. Reproduces very quickly.
Carpet plants (or any plant that propagates sideways from runners) can grow pretty dense and suffocate themselves, so carefully cut away any extra runners and leaves and don't allow those delicate plants to pile up or over grow.
If you select low growing, propagation by runner type plants such as pygmy chain sword or dwarf sag, or small crypts such as wendtii, you will get increase in plants and usually the excess can be traded in to your local fish store (LFS) for credit.
Italian Val multiplies by sending out runners with small plantlets, and these can very easily become dense. After a plantlet has four or five fully developed leaves the runner can be cut, and the new plant will begin sending out runners on its own.
Some plants, such as the Echinidorus species or the marine algae from the Caulerpa genus, produce a horizontal aerial stem, known as a runner (or stolon).
The round thick waxy leaves grow out from a rosette forming a pod that will then send a runner out from which another pod will develop and successive runners and pods; ...
They may also develop emersed if the humidity is fairly high above the water but these plantlets don't grow roots until the plantlets are submersed. Once roots form on the plantlets, they can be gently wiggled off the runner and planted.
Propagation: This plant will occasionally flower producing seeds but is more reliably reproduced asexually by runners.
The feather-like blades that extend from the branches that grow upright from the rhizome (runner) can easily identify the Feather species.
Sagittaria subulata requires low to high lighting (1.5 - 4 watts/gal), grows quickly and propagates by runners which will form a dense grouping producing 2 - 3 leaves and one runner per month.
you will need a hood that is totally secure, Cray make escape look easy, and will always take a chance and do a runner. light your tank as if it were for fish, though i would suggest a moonlight system, as Cray are very active at night.
You will need to attach a "runner" to keep the canopy from sliding down the tank. I used some of the leftover scrap to create 2, 1" strips that run along the 13" end pieces.
Rosettes spread by sending out runners and growing new plants along the way, similar to the way strawberries spread. Many rosettes will produce flowers as well.
Examples: Amazon Sword, Sagittaria
Planting: Depends on the plant.
Remember that rooted plants will have a tendency to extend runners across your tank and uprooting them when they have matured and proliferated will cause some degree of chaos in your aqua-scaping.
Rather, they prefer a moderate light and will survive but not thrive if in low light situations like a tank that has a heavy cover of water sprite. As mentioned, they reproduce by sending out runners.
Baby plants will grow off of the runners on healthy Chain Sword plants. These can be separated…

Corkscrew Val - Vallisneria "spiralis" - one of the smaller of the grass-like plants, Corkscrew Val grows easily and reproduces by sending out "runners" from which baby plants grow.

15 days has passed since planting. The water has become clear. Glossostigma and Echinodorus tenellus have developed runners and Willow Moss on driftwood is growing steadily.
It's a fast growing attractive algae of which there are many variations with leaves that look like ferns, grapes, etc. Not surprisingly, the different types are named after the look of their leaves. All grow rapidly by sending out runners which are ...
It would like quite a bit of bright light, but you can get by with 1.5 Watts per Gallon. When it actually hits the surface of the water, it will start to run horizontally, and runners will pop out.
There will come a time very shortly that I will remove the plant, separate the runners and replant it in many other containers. Once the pot becomes root bound (you will see the roots growing upwards out of the pot), the plant needs to be repotted.
