Red leafy plant ID please
Hi,
Can anyone help me ID this plant? It comes in large red variegated stems, and fails to root before my pleco has ripped it to ribbons, so I guess it's not a true aquatic? I've been right through http://www.aquahobby.com/garden.html and http://www.aquaticplants.eu.com/ but can't find it. Java-Plants.com where I bought it are down at the mo It came as part of an unlabelled collection. Photo in the semi-eaten state(!) www.gorge.org/fish/eatenplant.jpg Help appreciated. Thanks! -- Flash Wilson -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Send me your Electricity Pylon and Pole photos for the collection - see http://www.gorge.org/pylons |

it is a true aquatic plant that requires bright light and iron rich substrate. Cris In article , (Flash Wilson) writes: Can anyone help me ID this plant?

Hmmm...I've been doing lots of research on the "roseafolia" and it doesn't
look like Flash Wilson's picture.Check out Tropica's description of it http://www.tropica.com/productcard_1...023&mode=close and the plant I have in my aquarium as well at http://dave.aquascape.picklyk.com in the "Plant List" section...I might be wrong though Dave.

Non aquatic, too. Thanks everyone! -- Flash Wilson http://www.gorge.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Are you a UK System Administrator? Join SAGE-WISE!
