Plant ID pls

[sootz]

Hi hi, newcomer here

Just bought this driftwood with plant yesterday from C328, can any pro help to ID it? Tried google but couldn't find...

Hi there,

I've tried this plant before. It didn't survive in my tank. Think it lasted about 2 months.

It's Cyperus haspens.

It's a semi-aquatic plant. According to greenpark.sg, they can be grown along the edges of pond or in terrariums by keeping its root system fully submerged.

Here's a list of aquatic and terrarium plants for your future reference:

Thanks for the help

I think the spelling is: Cyperus haspan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_haspan)


Anyway it looks so awesome in the tank haha

hi all,

Just started a thread for my shrimptank http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...n-study-table-)

This pH pen that I have really very weird. I tried again this morning, sequence of events:
- use pH pen on a small tank filled with tap water + prime, left overnight: ~8.2
- use pH pen on my shrimp tank (dipped in same distance in): ~3? ~4? ~2?, shock! then common sense tells me the reading is wrong as the shrimps are behaving normally haha
- again use pH pen on a small tank filled with tap water + prime, left overnight: ~8.2
- use pH pen on my shrimp tank: ~3? ~4? ~2?
- use a tissue paper and clean the pH pen, then use the pH pen on my shrimp tank: ~7.5

zzzz

Anybody has experience of Cyperus haspan growing shoots from underwater? What will happen to these shoots? Mine started growing out yesterday...

I saw this plant when I was at Clementi too, really look great on the drift wood and it is not at expensive. Think it was selling at S$5 for drift wood with 3 Cyperus haspan on it? Trying to visualise how it would look in the tank. Afterall it might not really fit well with the rest of the plants that I had planned for my tank. It looks good stand-alone.

Any seniors out there with personnal experience with this plant, i.e. sensitive to water PH, fertilizer demanding, require alot of light, etc? I did a search on Cyperus haspan on the web and the images seems a little different to the one sootz posted, the ones sold at clementi looks much greener (without the shoots) than the ones in the web. Anyone care to clarify further?

2 weeks now, so far so good.

I think the main thing is I decided to remove all the water lettuce last weekend. They were doing real well with bushy roots and multiplying 1->3. I removed them because the roots were blocking water flow... That was on last Friday.

Yesterday night (Tues), I noticed the shoots from the driftwood plants, and they are like 10cm tall!

I do daily dose of borneowild lush + EssenceK + Ferrum though.

Got the same plant from NSA over the weekend. Just 1 shoot of it, thought of trying it out. Using fishing line, I tied it to my driftwood and guess what I noticed today:

Alamak, wasted. Initially I also do not dare to try, because I read from somewhere, this plant is pretty difficult. But my wife love it a lot, so I thought why not? Afterall, 1 stalk do not cost much. And I am impressed by the result. It is actually growing pretty well now.
