Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?


The first photo appears to be an Echinodorus species, commonly known as Burhead or Amazon Swords. Given the leaf veins, rosette form, and what seems to be a rhizome in the substrate, it shares characteristics with Echinodorus. However, I must note that the taxonomy of this genus is often confusing ...

Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?

This plant's growth rate is crazy - about a leaf (or two) daily. The more I look at it, the more I think it resembles Aponogeton crispus. I may need to rethink its placement, as it's currently a nice focal point, but if it is indeed Aponogeton crispus, it's going to get massive.

Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. I've been reading through and I think we've narrowed it down to Barterraca longifolia and Aponogeton sp. I checked out some pictures of Barterraca longifolia, and while it does look similar, the leaves seem a bit different - they're straight and ...

Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?

I'm pretty sure the plant on the wood is DBT, the store staff said it doesn't need CO2 or super strong lighting to thrive.

Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?


The carpeting plant bears a resemblance to dwarf baby tears, but I've seen some sevale plants that share a similar appearance from a distance. Would you be able to provide some closer shots of it?

Most carpeting plants I've come across require high lighting and a good quality liquid fertilizer to ...

Re: identifying mystery plants: can you help?

Just added more pics, lower lighting atm since I only turned on one of the 4 lights for the picture, and my 8 hour photo period is over for today.

identifying mystery plants: can you help?

I picked up a couple of plants yesterday, and I'm having second thoughts about one of them being an aquarium lily. The other one's a complete mystery to me.

The plant in the sand is supposed to be that aquarium lily, but it doesn't match any pictures I've found online.

If someone can ID these ...
