ChefConfit Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I ordered a random plant package from a retailer I've used in the past. It's a really good deal only catch is they don't tell you what they send you. Now that they are grown in I could use some help with identifying some of them. First plant came in fully green but now the stems are red and leaves have a slight red tint. Second came in bright red then started to turn green before I upgraded from my old nicrew to my current hygger light. Third plant came in pink then turned green until I upgraded my light. Now it's brownish red with pink veins. It also went from having about an inch and a half of stem between sets of leaves to less than half an inch. They're so short because I recently tipped them and replanted the new growth form. Forth has always been green. The final one is one of 2 from that bunch that survived the initial melt. And it's the only plant that hasn't shown noticeable growth since I planted the tank in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I can only help in broad strokes here...my guesses: 1 rotala spp. 2 ludwigia spp (palustris or "red" Maybe?) 3 definitely looks like Alternanthera 4 probably ludwigia, but maybe bacopa? 5 staurogyne repens? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
