Afternoon all
Just for fun I removed a bouyant floater of Ceratopteris thalictroides to see what fully emersed growth looked like, very different from the " just floating" form and different again from the submersed form ( which for some reason I am totally unable to grow, it melts away)
Also, while I have your attention, Two pics of my Frogbit. Question is, is this Limnobium or Hydrocharis? It grows well enough, I regularly donate to LFS. My issue is that the mature leaves senesce after a couple of days and appear to "peak" too soon. It's not flowered so I can't use that as ID.The base of the leaf appears to be deeply incised, more like Hydrocharis than Limnobium?? If it's Hydrocharis are tropical temperatures too warm, driving it too hard and causing fast cycling and early death?
TIA
cheers
