Title: plant id x2
Post by: wrm130 on September 19, 2013, 08:21:33 PM
Is the grassy one litorella? It was bright green and about 2"taller when I got it. Grows quickly and spreads aggressively via surface runners.

No idea on the sword type plant.

Thanks!

The top one looks like Echinodorus tenellus but the picture doesn't give a good perspective of the size. Tenellus can be up to 6" tall but usually 2 to 4 . And the light levels will dictate the 'brownness' of the leaves. I can't help you with the bottom one except to say it looks similar to Echinodorus uruguayensis 'Africanus'. Where did you get them?
