    How long did u have them for? Mine about a week+ and it’s growing roots from stem similar to reineckii mini

    Online search not not helpful and some suggest it is not aquatic plants. Wonder if there is another name for this plant.

    Im still keeping a stalk of it in my fry tank, and it seems to be growing new leaves and long roots. however, the leaves seem quite fragile and have been nibbled on by my guppy fry

    Its non-aquatic and will eventually rot.

    I used to own one and I had a post somewhere in this forum too. Was told this is not an aquatic plant. Some told me this is temple plant, won't grow in water. I end up bring them out from water and they die faster due to dehydration. May be worth to monitor for few months if they doesn't melt down or invite algae.

    I removed it from my tank and replaced them with bacopa c.

    Now planted in pot with soil, hopefully it will survive since in my tank for a short while only.

    I think I'd got something like that before, didn't know the name of the plant then, was bot from C328.

    The said plant didn't grow a lot when submerged, only sending out side roots everywhere.

    When I was starting up my 3ft tank, I'd planted this plant during DSM and green leaves spawn out pretty quickly. However after submerged, there is no noticeable... and algae slowly takes over...
