    If it is Elatine tiandra aka APP, they usually are given out FOC. As they grow too fast in good condition.

    But then, it is not confirmed to be APP as they grow so tall?

    Well, it does grow pretty tall then. Bout up to 3 inch on some of them. But I think its because of my lighting not enough, instead of crawling, they grow upward to get more light.

    My first guess was Elatine tiandra as well, but if it grows so tall then it can be Hemianthus micranthemoides.

    I think he is looking for the marker price to benchmark his pricing. unfortunately, not a practise here as we cannot start a price war for LFS by giving quotes on the thread. Your best bet is to price it below what you paid for it.

    Hehehehe.. well wat i mean its was I able to sell it? I know that some plant are hardly can sell, like those I got it for only RM 1.50 per bunch from local lfs.

    I was trying to cover some of the cost, thats all. I m not a farmer also!

    If I post that I m selling in the forum, will there be anyone interested? I saw that moss and stuff are pretty hot selling.

    Aiks, not to be a wet blanket but in the pix, the plants are covered in algae dusting. Not a very attractive proposition, I'm afraid. Try to boost it's growth and health and I'm sure you can get somebody to part with some $ for it.
