Plant Identification

[Barry Tetra]

Hello TFF!

Can anyone identify this aquatic plant?

Looks like anubias variety to me.

I don’t think so, my friend found it in the waterfall

No idea but it looks interesting. Put them in pots with some fertiliser and red clay and grow them on. Get some more pictures and see what they turn into.

My friend found them in a water though.

Yeah, put them in pots with some fertiliser and clay and put them in the tank or a pond. See what they grow into.

So...I finally know what it is....

It’s just a plant that is flooded in the waterfall and is now rotten, that’s why it’s brown

Cool! Judging by the roots, I'd bet it's some sort of broad-leafed cryptocoryne. Maybe pondtederifolia or a broad leafed variant of tropica? Sounds like you're experiencing typical crypt melt. Try planting it the roots in water with a good, deep substrate and see if it comes back.

Crypt! That’s what I thought when I first saw it
I don’t think it’s coming back, it’s rotten

How do you know it’s not a ground plants though?

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Well, in nature crypt often grows as a bog plant: Roots in the water, leaves and blossoms in the air. I suspect that's what you've got here. Those roots just look really crypt-ish (cryptic? cryptographic? what IS the proper adjective here?) to me.

I would cut all the leaves off about 1 inch from the base and then plant them. Not the leaves the root stock.@WhistlingBadger very cryptic

 

[Colin_T]

You need to find a book like the Field Guide to aquatic plants of Thailand and see if it's in that.

Update;
After reading plants book, I can confirm this is
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘brown’

Lucky you, we would all love a supply of that in a creek near by

 

[Colin_T]

leaves are too big for wendtii, either that or you have really small hands
