Caryl Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 There are banned species and allowed species of the commonly named oxygen weed. Look very similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 The plants the shops sell are Elodea cannadensis aka Canadian water pest. I suspect that it is allowed because there is so much about that they would never get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Have a read through the information at the top of these pages - there is a category for plants with a fairly extensive list of plants, photos etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 For those buying or collecting Oxygen weed in N.Z. only one of the 3 species is not a banned plant.
