Ripariums and Emergent Aquatic Plants
A box came last night with four new really great plants. I acquired these through a transaction on the The Planted Tank Forum (external link). The fellow who sent them obviously knows what he’s doing. These are beautiful plants.
New Plants 25-IV-09
The plants did not ship in water. I just placed them in warm aquarium water so that they could breath.
Ranunculus inundatus
Cryptocoryne cordata
Polygonum 'Kawagoneum'
Limnophila aromatica

[...] Re: Promising New Riparium Plants in Order on My Doorstep yep, it will be interesting to see what that one days, i found conflicitng information about whether Bletilla really grows as an emergent aquatic or not. i potted up that plant and put it in a dish of water a few days ago. it looks OK so far. i will add a blog post in a while with an update. i added another new post with pictures from another order that i got: Hydrophyte’s Blog: More New Plants! [...]
What great quality plants, I like that Polygonum in particular.
The Ranunculus inundatus looks like a very interestin plant. I hope you have great success growing it (and bring a stem or two to the MAGC meet
Hey it’s great to hear from you! I’ll do my best–that one is reportedly a little more tricky. It might be a somewhat hardier in emersed culture than as an underwater plant, as many things are.
I cannot be sure without more pictures, but that Crypt. cordata appears to be Crypt. pontederfolia
Ghanzafar,
great to hear from you!
i’m pretty sure that is something other than pontederifolia. i also have some pontederifolia and this looks different. the guy who sold it to me as C. cordata seemed to have a real good grip on his plant ID’s. i will try to post another picture or two soon.
i have a bunch more crypts with no species determinations. i hope to post pictures of some of these too and look for help with what they might be.
