Hay,

just got two pretty cool looking plants from PetsMart, they did not know what they were nor were they taged.

(if you scoll down a bit you'll see the new posted pics.)

I have no clue, but if you do find out, lemme know, they look awesome.

Alright I just talked to my BF and he said it looks like water sprite, or spider plant, which apparently are not aquatic plants. Our local Petsmart sells the same ones apparently as well.

Yeah they sell some plants that are capable of living under water but are not truly aquatic plants.

That is definately not water sprite. water sprit is much "bushier"

nana one of the cultivar varietys of anubius barteri, that may be another cultivar of that same species if what they said is conected to anything at all.
Anubias barteri var. angustifolia is the closest if it is an anubias...

could you post a picture that shows one of the leaves from base to tip? that partial picture of the plant doesn't help a difficult task to do in identifiying it.

what about now?

i'm trying to focus on the bottom, as you could see they overlap and are very thick.

the other plant, the stem looks like a bamboo tree.

thanks

I'm pretty sure the first one is Anubias barteri var. angustifolia, usually a marsh plant with creeping rhizome. submersed leaves up to 25 cm long petiolate. Leaf blade about 15 cm long and 1.5-4 cm wide, medium green with margins not undulating.
Grows best in medium light, with optimum temperature range of 22-26ºC. usual growth is 10-15 cm tall but some specimins reach 40 cm in hight.

Anubias barteri var. nana is the more common one and might be why they called it nana instead of its variety name.

no idea on the bambo stem like plant... seems to much like some regular house plants I've seen. might have to keep an eye on it as it might start dieing.

Thank you


I'll keep a eye on the "bambo" like plant, and make sure it doesn't pullut my tank.


Thanks again

Mystery Plant1 may be of the genus Synogonium (spelling)! I need a better pic to attempt to identify.

Either augustifolia or a small frazieri. Probably the former as stated above. Nice looking plant and you're better off with the augustifolia. Frazieri gets really tall in my tanks. Too tall actually.
The second plant is a stem, but I have not clue from the picture, what it is.

Still can't tell. Too much glare in the photo and not enough leaf to identify. As I said one pic looks like it's definitely a Synogonium. Look it up!

Thanks again.

can't find anything under that, might be the spelling.


however i think i found the second one. a tea plant. very hard to keep accourding to my research, needs lots of light.
