    Hi. Help needed to ID these two plants. Both are really very low maintenance plants and they grow at an amazing speed! Need to trim once a week. Trim off and can re-plant the cut off part.

    Thanks.

    Plant A:



    Plant B: (2 differnt kinds of leaves can be spotted on one stem ?!?!)

    First plant looks like a Bacopa sp. 2 types of leave probably mean the top ones are the emersed leaves. Try taking the picture with the plant a little further away.

    Second is confirm Hygrophila difformis.

    It doesn't matter if it is the first plant or the second, if a water plant has 2 types of leaves on 1 stalk, it just mean that the top would (very much likely to be the usual case) to be the emersed leaves.
