another pix...

[vinz]

Blue box looks like Echinodorus quadricostatus.

[learner]

Thanks vinz. Is it fat and thick one? coz it's quite firm to touch.. not the leafy feeling... u konw what i mean?

[Simon]

i find the leaves too broad for E. quad.. could be something else... take a better and clearer pix?

[learner]

here simon

another pix...

[Simon]

i dunno man, have to see inperson [] (excuses) kekekee... but from the top view, the leave shape doesnt look like that of the E. quad, E. hormanii green? but from the size of it, quite confusing.. how big r they?

[learner]

they are short...
3inch? at most 4

[vinz]

Definitely not E.quad liao.

May not be full size yet.

[learner]

don look like this leh..

[sherchoo]

The thinner leaves should be some sort of Sagi. Maybe Sagittaria platyphylla

The thicker one has Echinodorus leaf structure that do resembles horemanni. Not easy to ID with your pics....

[Simon]

but at least u know its either a sagi or a echino.. more like a sword plant... perharps u can describe the plant.. is there any stem on each leave blade from the crown?

But does the leaf veins look the same?

[charleslyk]

i dunno what's the name of the stem plant with short leave..but what i do know is that its the emmersed form.. It will turn longer and more needle-like and no longer as beautiful.

Had it before and dumped it.

hello gang,

the plants are bacopa myriophylloides and sagittaria platyphylla.
doesn't look like hydrotriche hottoniiflora cos it is too small.
hope this helps.

I agree that the stem plant is Hydrotriche hottoniiflora

Is Hydrotriche hottoniiflora the plant pictured? I've bought a plant which are 3 to 4 inches long, mid green. After 2 weeks, they grew quite fast but the leaves become very thin and long. Totally unlike the leaves on the original plant I bought. Is this the plant?
