right is elodea for sure
Thanks. Is there a significant difference between that in Rotala Indica?The correct name for the plant on the left is Rotala rotundifolia. I wish these plant sellers would get with the program.
They are totally different plants. Real R. indica (aka Ammannia sp. 'bonsai') is more demanding. See the Plant Finder on APC for more info.Thanks. Is there a significant difference between that in Rotala Indica?
Because I alway get confused by this I want to ask.They are totally different plants. Real R. indica (aka Ammannia sp. 'bonsai') is more demanding. See the Plant Finder on APC for more info.
"True" Rotala indica, as seen below, is not an Ammannia sp.-- so Ammannia sp. 'bonsai' is not a botanically-correct name at all. I remember hearing once that the incorrect name originated from a plant seller somewhere in Asia, and it caught on... hence why many people still refer to it as that. It has since been properly identified.Because I alway get confused by this I want to ask.
The correct scientific name of Bonsai is Rotala indica? Or is it the other way around and its an Ammania species but not fully identified?
