Figure_8 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I bought this plant as a Melon Sword, but it doesn't look too much like any pics of a Melon Sword that I've found on the net. If anything it looks more like a grandifolius. Can anyone ID this plant for me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch33 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 hey Mouse this looks close to your pic but it can be difficult as quite often sword plants will vary a little depending on there lighting and whether they have been grown emersed or submersed also the plant looks like it needs a feed imo a little yellow or maybe its just the pic ? echinodorus osiris Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Ray, that pic is close, but the leaves are a lot more pointed on the osiris. This one has very rounded, oval shaped leaves. Your right on the colour though, its a little on the yellowy side in places. I wasn't sure if that was because it was a Melon sword and they do go through the red/orange/yellow colour range as the leaves grow or if it was in need of ferts :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
