BigJ Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I went to a nature preserve in East TX and saw this plant, I am wondering if anyone knows what it is or if there is anything similar in the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 looks like some sort of onion plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJ Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Do they grow fully aquatic? All of these that I saw were in water between a few inches and a few feet tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janoš Bećar Pecaroš Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Maybe reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Cattail. (I'm in southeast Texas, and it's pretty common.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if that was it, I really liked the look of the immature fully submerged ones. I guess I'll just settle for some kind of sword. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yep, cattails. Need full sun, not really a good tank plant since they grow big enough and strong enough to split open a tank.. Try a sword plant for a somewhat similar look depending on the variety you pick. There are dozens of varieties out there once you start looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
