TravisBumpy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Okay, here is the back story. About two weeks ago I set up a grow out/farm tank mainly for bucephalandra. I made it a dirted tank with a deep sand substrate just in case I wanted to grow out some root feeders too. Well this morning while I was planting some extra hair grass and val runners, I noticed this stem looking plant popping up out of the sand. What is it? Did it come from the potting soil? Did it come from the play sand? Sorry for the bad pics and cloudiness. Not a photographer and stirred up some debris while planting the val.

JettsPapa Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Seedlings are notoriously difficult to identify. You may need to wait until it gets larger, but regardless of where it came from, I'd think it's likely to be a terrestrial plant instead of aquatic, and if that's the case I don't expect it to survive longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisBumpy Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Well I am pretty curious on how it will turn out and to see if it will live long enough to identify it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisBumpy Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 (edited) Still alive. Are there any aquatic plants that grow from seeds? I am using organic miracle grow for my dirt layer. I am thinking that they might of sourced some of it from a pond or something. Edited February 19 by TravisBumpy Question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisBumpy Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Makes me wonder where miracle grow sources their organic potting soil from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
