    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Awesome, well spotted, cheers Darrel! Definitely a Hygrophila spp.! Could be H.corymbosa of some variety, time to sift through hundreds of Google image search results lol! If the Chinese eBay seller had just sold these has "Hygrophila sp. seeds", I would have bought them anyway :lol:. Some of...

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Just thought I'd post an update - this plant is still growing well, it has flowered and now has what looks like seed pods: Still no idea what species it actually is though, it tries to grow submersed too but I have it in a goldfish tank so any new shoots are quickly eaten. The main stems are...

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Still growing! Although it seems to be deficient in iron and/or nitrogen, and the top part of the plant has grown past the T5 luminaire so doesn't receive much light. Also the two big fancy goldfish in the tank have eaten most of the roots :lol:. I've placed more stones in the tank to help...

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Update, still not sure what it is: I also have one single seed that sprouted underwater, it's still alive, but hasn't really grown.

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Update - slowed in growth and starting to go slightly yellow, I have it in a heavily planted goldfish tank, floating/submerged plant growth is so fast under my high lighting +micro ferts that the API test results look like 0ppm NO3. I don't trust the results from most test kits, but was...

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    The ones on rockwool have germinated, as have some that i sprinkled into a breeding net. Once germinated they seem to have neutral buoyancy, and the slimy/fuzzy seed casing separate from the cotyledons. I painstakingly planted the ones from the breeding net into a pot full of soil/sand in one...

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Well, nothing sprouted, the windowsill may have been too cold though. I also sprinkled some seeds into the tubs of water I have carnivorous plants in...the seeds just floated and went fuzzy with mould. I have no idea how funkycat got their seeds to sink, maybe I should have bought the "S"...

    Hmmm, me too now, egg and cress is a favorite and that sandwich looks great thanks :p. Will be interesting to see if it is this species, there was both small "S" and large "L" types available in the listing, so presumably two different species. I went for the "L" large size.

    (Probaby not) Glossostigma from seed - impulse eBay buy.

    Hi all, Today I received a surprise in the mail - a wee glass bottle full of seeds. I'd forgotten impulse buying this for £1.14 on eBay about a month ago, probably after a few beers, as I'd normally avoid this type of listing. They were sold as "Glossostigma" seeds, here's the listing...
