    Hi guys, I just went to Y618 and saw a weired looking plant this afternoon. The leaves are compound leaves and whats interesting is the silver shine on the leaves. I wonder whether this is a marsh plant or true aquatic plant. Hope some bro can take a photo of this plant and post it in AQ.
    I also saw some new moss at NA. According to Mr Chan, its known as 'spiky moss'. Anyone can shed light on this new moss?

    wks, does the leave look like some hibiscus leaf, silver on top and maroon under? if so that is a terrestrial plant that will melt in a week.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    The moss has been around for some time... It is called spiky cause when new fronds grow, it stands up unlike java or other mosses that droops down... Abit like erect moss... But much easier to grow...

    It doesnt look like hibiscus leaves. It look more like hornwort but the stem is thicker.

    I believe this is the "silver" plant you are referring to, maybe someone can help to ID the plant.

    its form will change later on.. the leaves will be thinner and exhibit a feather like appearance.. VERY FAST Grower!! its a weed..

    If your light is intense enough it will also develop red tops. i got rid of all of mine cos they grew too fast..

    Very cheap.. can also be acquired at Capricorn or ah peh plant farm at one golden coin for an entire pot..
