Crystal Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I got a lovely swordplant from a friendly AA member back in January (thanks Catshanon!). I had a hard time getting it into my 90g as it's leaves were so big, I still can't figure out how we got it out of his 33g... It decided about 1.5 months ago to send out a flowering stem - this being my first swordplant, it really surprised me until I did some reading. The stem just wouldn't stop growing (it is about 4 feet long). My brother thinks it is going to attack him... :shifty: It has been blooming for the last month or a bit longer. The blossoms are so pretty! I can't detect any scent, which I think is a pitty. Now I have to figure out what to do with the umpteen dozen plantlets that I am going to have.

nighthawk Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Good for you! The first exciting moment I had in this hobby was when mine bloomed; I think it may be the grandparent of your plant. Next, you need some more fishy progeny... Great way to get hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 That is awesome. Thanks for the image. Is that a Melon Sword plant that I see? Thanks. I am not sure what kind of swordplant it is. It might be, but I am not sure. This is about 1 week after I got it, but it is a closer picture.

BettaFishMommy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 it looks very much like echinodorus rose. i have one and although it hasn't sent off any shoots it does spit out a new deep red leaf every 5 days or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
