Looks like a Hemigraphis and Lobelia alright. The Hemigraphis won't survive long underwater though. It's at best with just its roots submerged.
Hi, does anyone know the ID of these plants?
After looking a plant book, it seems that these plants could be:
1. Hemigraphis Repanda,
2. Lobelia Cardinalis
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
I bought these plants at S$2 a pot from Aqua World HK, located along Tung Choi Street (Goldfish Street), in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Because of the price, I think these are not uncommon plants. They also have Tropica plants, starting from HK$98 (S$21) a pot. Also stocked is a wide range of ADA products.
