I am not looking for "recommendations," per se, I am just genuinely curious what people's favorite plants are! So, what are your favorite aquarium plants, and why? For me, I am going to separate this into two categories (but you may answer however you like!): favorite based on my own personal experience, and based solely on looks. For my own experience, I would definitely say the ludwigia spp. All my attempts to grow have been successful! Trimming has never caused a detriment, they look nice (with a wide variety, especially for color!) I've split plants and they've adjusted well to being emersed for a little bit of time, too. Overall for a beginner like me, it has been a blessing and a treat. For looks, I cannot pick just one... but I narrowed it down to three. My absolute favorite background plant for looks is hydrocotyle polysperma. I know it is a basic plant, and is incredibly invasive in many areas, but it is so pretty, fluffy, delicate, and whimsical to me. I just adore it! For midground and foreground plants, my favorites have to be barclaya longifolia and heteranthera reniformis. I know heteranthera reniformis is technically a marsh / marginal pond plant, but when it can be grown submersed successfully, it looks so stunning. Barclaya longifolia (common name: Orchid Lily) is a bizarre color that adds so much diversity to an aquarium, especially dutch style! It's dark-red, nearly brownish grey color is very attractive to me, as the color makes it look dead but the texture and liveliness of the leaves adds such a lovely contrast. Let me know your favorite aquatic plants! You can name as many or as few as you'd like! -
