    Hi could any bro Id this 2 plants? Bought without knowing its name.

    image.jpgimage.jpg

    The stem plant was initially green. After 3 weeks the leaves start to turn a little reddish. Is this due to some lack or ferts?

    in the 2nd pic, the plant seems to grow short stems with news plants on it. Anyone can advise is this is how it propagates?

    thanks in advance!

    The cryptocoryne on the left photo looks like probably a willisi or wendtii variant... you'll have to check the photos online to ID it as it grows out. Some variants will have leaves that turn a dark reddish to brownish or bronze color as they mature and transition to submersed form, it's not a nutrient deficiency, just a growth characteristic of these types of plant.

    Btw, cryptocorynes are not stem plants, they are rhizome plants.
