Unidentified Plant

[soltari007]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the forums, but I see that there's great activity and interaction here, and I'm happy to be part of it now. For my first forum post, I want to ask a simple question to anyone who gets their stuff from that Clementi Florist fish shop, opposite Clementi... I bought this plant which was tied to wood, which is extremely small (leaves < 5mm) and can pack a piece of wood densely. It's found at the right entrance of the shop. I have not seen it sold anywhere else yet, and if someone can identify it, I'll be eternally grateful because it's slowly dying on me. Plus, it's expensive :S

Thanks!
Sam

Should be HC. Look like this? http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=178479

Whatever it is, a good amount of light and CO2 with some fert will do the trick. It could be MM also. Is it tied? HC is not very easy to tie to wood.

Hmm I think you might be right. Hemianthus callitrichoides' description is close to what I have, and the problem with growing it is also similar: my yamatos are digging up the gravel too often for it to grow properly! Now I know!

By the way, what's MM? Sorry I do not know the acronyms well yet...

Whoops, really sorry, We normally call it MM out of conveniece. How my memory really fails me nowadays, I cant recall the actual name. According to your description, <5mm, HC leaves is less than <2mm and they are very delicate plants.

This is HC.

Micranthemum micranthemoides aka Hemianthus micranthemoides?
