Plant identification needed PLZ

[virgildonatifan]

I have bought some new plants and I have no clue of what they are? Please can anyone identify them for me and tell me what the light intensity should be, their growth rate, difficulty of keeping them, etc.

Thanx a million

First pic is some form of Anubius lancelota. You will kill it if you leave it planted like that. The rhisome must be above the substrate line. The roots can be buried but not the rhisome.

The second photo is Draceana sanderiana (cane plant). Not aquatic. Will eventually die and sour water in a small tank. If i were you I'd take it out and plant it in a flower pot.

Third pic is also Anubius barteri nana. Follow instructions of #1.

Good l

The first one is not aquatic, and is not an Anubias species. I do not recognize it at all as a matter of a fact.

The second is known as lucky bamboo, and will do fine under water for several months, and will do best if the leaves make it out of the water.

The third is anubias barteri var. nana, and can be planted in the substrate, just keep the rhizome close to the surface. They need very little for special requirements. You can look in the sticky 'Plant Profiles' at the anubias barteri.

Do all Anubius have uo be above gravel? i just split mine out of the black pot thing and put a few under the gravel.

The first one looks a lot like the terrestrial form of Giant Hygrphilia. It benefits from nutrient rich substrate and medium to high lighting. It needs to be planted in groups of no more than two to three stalks, with at least a thumbs width between bunches. The form you have may not thrive and will shed all of those leaves to be replaced with an aquatic variation.
Second one is also known as Green Sandy. Wyldfya is correct in that it will do alright under water for a few months. Ultimately it will rot out if left this way.
Third is definately anubias.

The rhyzome should not be buried, it will tend to rot away and kill the plant. Another great way to do anubias is to tie them with thread to a rock or driftwood.

Or if they accidentally get rooted to something other than driftwood, or rock... say a plastic ship... My bad.
