Plant ID

Ok guys I am gonna take a flier here that non of these are aquatics... please confirm this for me.

 

Pic 1 and 2- seriously doubt they aquatic.

Pic 3 I've grown before. Don't know name.
Pic 4 I've seen people grow under extremely high light, and press CO2
Pic 5 looks aquatic to me. Might be wrong

People like @Rudi, @azurekoi and @wearsbunnyslippers will probably be able to give us names.

 

nice plants check out the flowers on pic 3 shewww!!
ok pic 1,2 are not aquatic put it in your garden.
pic 3 dont know the name but it looks aquatic normally these immersed grown plants change underwater so post a pic when it starts to change if no one can help you now. and finally pic 4 i have grown this plant bright pink stem right?? you need tons of light extremely rich substrate and loads of co2 when i tried growing it under 2x54w and pressurized co2 it turned black and died got it growing in flourite red now with alot more light and a low ph 6.2 and medium hardness 4-6... very nice plants if you get it going! and the forth plant i have seen in my lfs a few times all these plants are from imatikulu(spelling?) hydroponics farm give them a call or check out there website for better info! oh and imatikulu likes to fill orders with non aquatics so keep an out for those.
hope this helps

 

Ok cool guys that was what I was thinking, so if u could get ID's on the later 3 then I am start making plans with them lol might even sell them maybe @WBS & @shihr and help

 

pic 3 is the emmersed form of Rotala rotundifolia, pic 4 is Alternanthera reineckii and pic 5 not so sure it looks like emmersed Hygrophila corymbosa

 

Thanks @poro, the 3rd pic is not Rotala rotundifolia... the other two could be correct...

 

@Lizid have look here wrt the R. rotundifolia http://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/a...nts/Media/Html/Image_pages/rotala_images.html

 

Hmmm maybe you are right lol sorry about that...

 

haha no problem, the plants name originated from the round form of the leaves when grown emmersed.

 

dude have you gotten my PM?

 

Hi guys

This is the Amatikulu Aquarium Plants website,

http://www.aquariumplants.co.za/plants/index.htm

I think I have some of the plant in pic 4, it's a stem plant, but if the leaves break off they start to root. The stem seems to get very leggy and the leaves become sparse on the actual stem. I dunno, maybe I'm not keeping it in the right conditions...:huh:

HTH

I bought the plant in pic 5 today. I have no idea what it is either. The professor says its not aquatic.

 

@poro's right on 3 and 4... pic one is Sweet Flag or Acorus gramineus and pic 2 is Acorus gramineus(Variegated) - a marsh plant that eventualy turns to mush if you try to grow it submerged... Pic 5,I cant get on the name now,but it just melts in a low tech setup...not sure if it is a true aquatic or maybe needs CO2 + high light and ferts...

 

pic 3 looks like lindernia more than rotala... 4 is alternanthera reineckii and 5 is alternanthera ficoidea - non aquatic.
