karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi there, I just bought some plants off trademe and I am trying to figure out which is which so I plant them in the right place. I have found all on the internet apart from one called a water rose. does anyone know anything about this plant and whether it is a fore, mid or background plant please?

supasi Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plant_survey/aq ... fb25dcc3ca Does it look like this??? A pic would make ID easier, as LFS call plants all sorts of name. Most don't even know what they are selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm planting up your old tank LOL I can't see anything that resembles that but they are all smallish cutting so I'm guessing a bit to which one is which. I don't have a working camera at present sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 While I'm talking to you i haven't tried setting up the filter yet. Was there some other bit of tubing i needed to make it go. (I couldn't remember what you had said.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mistaken identity, sorry bout that hehehe! Told ya'all I'd be the one asking the silly questions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think what is sold as water rose is a multi colourd plant that is grown emersed and is not realy an aquatic plant, needs lots of light and will probably croak wherever you plant it. I have no idea what it actually is but is not the plant given as a example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 i think i know the one you are talking about... bought it cause it looked like a flat cabbage, lol... horrible plant literally withered away overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh well, I'm still not completely sure which one was which. So I bunged them all in and i guess well see what evolves. BTW I spot anything cabbagy, but thanks for your time :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yes Alan, the one you are thinking of is the one I thinking of too! I just posted that link cause the name. The plant? does it have pink and green ruffled leaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karynjoy Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 yes there is one like that! That must be the one :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 That is the one I was thinking of. I have seen it at animates and I think waterplantz sells it on the unmentionable site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
