Plant ID and question

[ejaramillo01]

First the question:

1.- Baby tears, I bought three small pots of baby tears. Can I just plant them in the sand, and hope that they will expand from there? What is the best way to plant them?

Here are the Plant ID that I need help, any comments also about plant needs will be helpful...

The first pic looks to be some sword, its a med light, heavy root feeder. The last is red ludwigia also med to high light.

Not sure what plant you're interested in with the first picture.

#2 Looks like subwassertang
#3 Looks like a Purple Waffle Plant, a nonaquatic plant.
#4 Could be any one of a number of Ludwigia Repens derivatives or similar floating around now (rubins, sp. red, etc), although plain Repens is probably to most common.

Thank you all.

Ups!!! this means that the purple waffle will die (non aquatic) ?

Eventually, yes.

Any opinion regarding the HC or Baby tears?

Break them up into individual plantlets, and plant them like the five side of a die. It will take a long time, but its worth it

I was talking about how to plant it, as a patch or break it down is separate mini plants ( which is hard ).

Wow, separate them into individual plantlets, thanks....it will be hard to keep them attached to my sand as an individual ...no?

I planted the HC, pretty hard... still everyday I found some steams floating in the tank....

But I re-plant them back into the sand..... let's see if they hold and start to develop more deep roots.

Any idea of the ID for the first pic of my tread... I'm talking about the big plant, looks like a sword but with round leaves...

Thanks
