BM3 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I got these two plants from LFS. Neither had a tag and folks who worked there couldn’t ID. Can you help me ID please? The one with the dissected leaves looks like hygrophila difformis but maybe not. The leaves look a little sharper. The other looks like moneywort but the leaves are not as fleshy and more tender. any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Second one looks like emersed version of Cardamine lyrata Vietnam to me. When I got mine emersed it looked like this, then the new submersed growth changed later on and became like this: But I'm not sure Edited March 18, 2023 by Lennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) First plant looks like emersed Proserpinaca Palustris. Hygrophila Difformis emersed would have bigger leaves. Second plant looks like creeping Jenny Heres a photo of the P. Palustris. Bottom part is emersed leaves and the top part is new growth I have two kinds of parrots feather (M. Aquaticum and M. Heterophyllum) they don’t look like that emersed or growing underwater. Edited March 18, 2023 by knee Added a photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right! Thank you. I don’t have co2 so I read the p. Palutrus might struggle a bit. Fingers crossed. It’s a beautiful plant!

Goodluck to us! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
