dimebag Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 hi, can anyone tell me what plant this is? it appeared from out of nowhere about a week or so ago, and is growing really fast, almost to the top of the tank thanks, duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Do the leaves have a reddish tinge underneath? If they do it might be giant baby tears - bacopa something. I've never seen it grow like that though. If I'm right about what it is, its a pretty plant. Just prune it above where it branches now and plant the prunings. It should grow nice and bushy.

Caryl Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Gee, a plant growing sideways and gravel that doesn't slide down the wall either! Am concerned about the nose diving discus though :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist. I would agree with Jude, the plant looks like baby tears Bacopa monniera and also agree with her suggestion to chop it off and replant the tips. The original will bush out at each cut joint.

Caryl Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 See how under each leaf there is a cluster of small roots? These will all grow if cut and replanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
