Here is the plant id your looking for
Aponogetons - "These plants grow from a bulb and do well in low light. They can however get quite large as well. Plant the bulb under the substrate just as you would a normal plant. Many come in the form of dried bulbs available as "mystery plants" at less than reputable pet stores. To grow it, simply plant the bulb in the substrate."

Really Henk?? Wow!! And is that under your MH's?? If thats the case, then I think Escom could struggle to produce enough power to make these grow!
