first unknown is micro sword i think
second is an amazon sword?
third maybe wisteria...
idk if the last 3 are right :l but the first 2 are definitely hornwort and a banana plant

I agree that the third one looks like microsword and the third is an amazon sword

 

[Bubbles0oO]

Nah it's not wisteria I have wisteria Dosent look alike at all

 

[Fishandmusic81]

The thirds definitely an amazon sword lucky I can't find any in my area

The last one does kind of look like wisteria grown emersed (like most commercial growers do). Give it a few weeks and it'll be obvious one way or another.

The amazon sword looks like emersed growth as well, that's how mine looked before the transition to submerged.

Do I have to do anything special for the transition? I have wisteria and it looks nothing like that . I also bought these out of the pots, nt the tubes

The only thing i do is give the plants time and trim the dying parts off, as they start showing, that way the plants can put energy towards new growth. My Amazon Sword looks nothing like it did when i first got it. I think the pots are still very hit and miss, it really depends on the supplier and how they are grown there. It's generally going to be cheaper for suppliers to grow the plants emersed since it requires a lot less water.


If you're unsure ask, the people here have been a wealth of great info!
