    Default Help Identifying plant.

    I bought some plants at my LFS but no one knew what kind of plant they were.
    I have 12 stems in total
    small roots at the base of each stem
    2-4 thin leaves growing from the top of each stalk

    The LFS (new employee) said it could be some sort of onion plant, however after some google searches I failed to find any that look similar.

    any information on identifying these would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I second that. Aquatic bamboo is usually in the dracaena family, not technically bamboo.

    Thats willow leaf hygro. Hygrophila salicifolia

    It is an aquatic plant and will need at least medium lighting to grow well.
