id please

hey so i saw these in a couple of aquascapes from overseas and would like to know what they are, i really like it.

 

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."

 

ummm... no.... its actually Pogostemon helferi

 

Henks right sorry looks similar haha but i guess its as different as apples and pears.

 

are they available in SA? iv just had a look on the net and i really like these

 

no - they do come in on special imports. rather expensive

 

aaaaa man damn why cant we have the cool plants lol

 

when i imported tehm they cost like R55 landed cost. and they needed VERY high light etc. lost about half of them in the first 5 days after landing

 

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!

G!
