More Plant Id's

[Si_B]

Hi all.

I just bought some plants of ebay (last_trading_post), and I need some ID's please

2a is a crypt of some king I think and 5a may be a dwarf sword?

In addition I had a small bulb about an inch across, but I guess there's no wasy of ID'ing that until it sprouts.

Heres the images.

5b Amazon sword

I have a feeling I know what bulb he has given you but I'm not sure myself what it is but I have got them every time I've bought from him.

I've found the water sprites from him always melt within a few days of being planted (3 different tanks I've tried).

Thanks for that.

I'm still not sure about 1A. it has a rhizome, rather than roots, I've just wedged it in the wood. Doesnt look like any lotus pics I can find, but dont know what else it could be with those big leaves.

2A, yeah looks like Java fern.

4A watersprite looks about right.

5a yup, small amazon sword I think, although the leaves are kind of round.

5b still not sure. looks a bit like a kind of rotala maybe.

Joshua: I found a website which says "Watersprite grows better in some tanks than in others. Some people just cannot grow watersprite. Others grow it by the bucketsful." Maybe you are one of the unlucky ones, or maybe it doesnt like being posted

I have half buried the bulb, so we'll see what happens with that.

1a is definitely a lotus

I got 5a and 5b the wrong way around, sorry!

Yeah, I assumed you had just got the labels reveresed thanks.
