#what Is This Plant?

[wackystarfish]

Hello, i got this cheap from my LFS (£1.50)
It was all weighted etc, but what is it! Also, what does it need and how much will it grow?

ceratoperis thalitricoides.

Thankyou!
If you click on it it goes to the full sized picture

 

[Truck]

yes its water sprite, or ceratoperis thalitricoides. (scientific name)

think i have the same thing, LFS said it would grow tall quite rapidly and the best way to stop it getting too straggly was to nip the top out every so often to make it bush out and keep it at a reasonable height.
that's as much as i know i'm afraid!

I think it looks more like Water Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis) than water sprite

I second the water wisteria.

Hygrophillia difformis has much larger leaves, the link isnail gave is actually C.Thallitricoides!!

H.Difformis:

C.Thalitricoides

Original image:

I am sticking with ceratoperis thalitricoides.

lol everyone has different choices.

hehe, it happens all the time

 

[Miah002]

It's up to wackystarfish to decide.

 

[aaronnorth]

in fact looking at the leaf on the left it does look like H.Difformis, but the rest looks like C.Thalitricoides

Ant chance of a close up on the leaf? That way we will be able to confirm it!
