Carlos & Siran Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Could somebody please help me identify this plant, I have lost my piece of paper with my plant names on it and I cannot find it online. Thanks Siran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 It looks like rotala species, could be indica or rotundfolia (usually redder) but im pretty sure its some kind of rotala.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Looks a bit like hygrophila polysperma, but the leaves are a bit shorter and the stem a bit thicker in yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos & Siran Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think I got it from the pet shop in Rotorua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 It has been grown submersed in moderate light. In strong light it would be redder and if emersed the leaves would be different. They rotate around the stalk (Rotala) and the leaves are round (rotundifolia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 hmm. that means it should look like this in a while (took this pic minutes ago) only every time i have ordered this plant in, it has come in mostly submersed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Mine is pinker than that , too bad it still looks bad looks like I will be doing a rescape tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 It is not a plant seen in the shops down here much as the plants are normally grown emersed and no one seems to want to buy it in the emersed form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
