I tried to make plant profiles to all aquarium, terrarium and pond plants. If I missed any plant, please inform me and I will kindly make a profile for it. Hope this thread will help many people. I had so much fun making this :)

You can "Quote" a plant profile to ask a question, add information and/or share an experience regarding a certain plant...
