Are there any floating plants that we can keep under a tank lid that will flower in an aquarium? I can't think of any...
So does mine. I've also had flowering Pistia stratiotes and Utricularia gibba.My Frogbit flowers intermittently
It's less than impressive, as far as blooms go.
I've had a few submerged plants flowers when they've become emersed. Echinodorus spp., Hygrophila corymbosa, Anubias barteri and Heteranthera zosterifolia are all frequent flowerers, although my Hygrophila and Echindorus haven't flowered under a lid.Never had frogbit and for now in the tank the only floater which flowers is the lily.
Probably the safest bet as a flowering plant, they don't all need form floating leaves to flower.I forgot the Aponogeton
Hi all, I've had a few submerged plants flowers when they've become emersed. Echinodorus spp., Hygrophila corymbosa, Anubias barteri and Heteranthera zosterifolia are all frequent flowerers, although my Hygrophila and Echindorus haven't flowered under a lid.
I've had Cabomba caroliniana flower as well, but it doesn't flower now (too much flow?). Both Cabomba and Heteranthera need to form morphologically distinct floating leaves before they will flower. Probably the safest bet as a flowering plant, they don't all need form floating leaves to flower.

- and most Aponogeton flowers are very nice scented........Or how about Aponogetons? I had what was probably A. natans/A. ulvaceus hybrid, it flowered regularly, and also had floating leaves. There are many others - Google "aponogeton inflorescence"....
