    Thanks, my friend says Lilaeopsis brasiliensis for plant 1 too. As for plant 2, I don't think it is nana... coz i have some nana. They don't look the same.

    I thought so too, but aren't the two pictures of Plant 2 the picture of the same plant?

    The rizhomes look strange thin to be from nanas.
    Those in the pictures look more like vegetables in a market...

    2nd plant is a terrestrial plant. That's the stem, not the rizhome. They had oriented themselves to the light source, that's all. Remove the plant cos they will start rotting soon... Had them growing emersed, but think they need sunlight for good growth... They were in an old hermit tank and I think the hermits destroyed them...

    I second Justikanz too. Its a terrestrial plant. Probably some kind of alternanthera or something. If you look around, there are varieties with reddish/ copper leaves too. Probably selling them cos they last a while in water, perfect for those buying 'cut flowers' for their tanks. Just think its a bit misleading to attach them onto wood to look like nanas.
    Regards
