aquachris Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I have some mystery plants I've been trying to ID. Can I get some plant experts to help out? Got this as a "mystery crypt" This one below is definitely not hornwort, it grows roots at the bottom. Edited August 20, 2021 by aquachris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It grows fast, and looks great. Just treat it like any other stem plant and it'll do well. Edited August 20, 2021 by FlyingFishKeeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 How wide is the last one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquachris Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 The one that I said isn't hornwort as it has roots? About 2" or something. Maybe twice the width of hornwort from needle to needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The second and third pictures, and the last two I believe are crypts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure the third is a type of crypt, just not what type. The second I kinda was thinking that along with the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no expert but I’ll give it my best shot. 1. No clue, I’m generally bad at stem plants. 2. Crypt, possibly young wendtii green. 3. Probably a wendtii, possibly a bronze. 4. PSO as previously mentioned. 5. Looks most likely to be another Crypt, might be parva? 6. Did I mention I’m bad at stem plants? 😉 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The not hornwort looks possibly like millfoil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Does the first one have a rhizome? If it does could it be a species of Bucephalandra? (Just thought the leaves looked similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
