Please could someone ID this plant for me? I bought it the other day along with an alternanthera, but I bought it in a bunch with no info.



Thanks in advance

it looks like Hygrophilia but I'm not 100%. If it grows like a weed it probably is.

Thanks I hope it does grow! I need some colour in there that's not green.

I thought it looked like a ludwigia species to me. But I need to study a lot more plant species

I sometimes have trouble identifying stem plants, but here I'd suggest with a fair degree of confidence that this one in the photo is Ludwigia repens.

that's good news then. I've had hygrophilia and it's a nightmare to keep under control!

Yep that looks like it thanks Byron!

It's hard to know where to start looking when you just have a plant with no information. TFF to the rescue as usual
