Plant ID

[yeoyl87]

Hi bro, Newbie need help in ID again.



I suspect its one of the rotala family. Is it Rotala rotundifolia?

[Shadow]

yeah, looks like rotala rotundifolia?

[Ah_ZhaN]

It looks like rotala roundifolia...and it seems to turn unhealthy too.

[yeoyl87]

is it? This one is given to me by a kind bro. FOC trimmings so no complain. Anyway to plant this nicely and nurse back to good health?

[Shadow]

Does not look that bad, with good water condition, it will slowly get better.

So sorry, got to disturb all the big brother big sister here again.




I got this is Y618. Cant find similar picture online. I thought its HM but in Y618, they got another similar ones but with thinner stem and slightly smaller leaves. Initially ask auntie which is zhen zhu cao, she pointed glosso to me . I ask her specifically the one in my pic she also say this is zhen zhu cao, ask her about the thinner one she also say zhen zhu cao...... I ask whats the dif between the two, she tell me this one is my pic is new plant. Call Japanese zhen zhu cao...

Can any bro/sis identify for me. Is it Hemianthus Micranthemoides?



I just found HM at another shop. Hand itchy cause only slightly more than 1 silver coin.



I am very sure this is HM. I put them side by side and realised slight difference in leaf size and stem thickness. Can some bro help me identify the top plant? Thanks so much

Any bro can help?

Someone identified both as ludwigia. They look so different to me. Submersed and emersed so different? Anyone can confirm?

Plant 2 is Hemianthus micranthemoides in the submersed state. The emersed form looks a bit like the larger version of HC and will have stiffer, thicker stems, shorter internode, thicker leaf and rounded.

Plant 1 looks like emersed Rotala sp. ''Nanjenshan'.
