Plant ID?

[diabelskoo]

Hi I bought 4 pots of Hemmiantus Cuba (discounted) 2 weeks ago and placed them in pots in my established tank because Im waiting for my new tank to arrive where they are planned to be planted. Cuba itself is doing very fine and growing nicely. Thing that Im interested is that what plant has grown in the middle of one of the pots? Apart from cuba in this tank I keep Pogostemon Erectus and Staurogyne Repens also in pots which dont seem to be that plant which has grown at all. Its a stem plant with kinda round leafs. Does anyone have an idea what plant this could be? Big thanks for answers. Pics attached sorry for quality but its my phone.

Hi all,

Thing that Im interested is that what plant has grown in the middle of one of the pots?

Because it shows really long internodes, it could be a terrestrial "weed" that has grown from stray seed. It looks a bit like Chickweed (Stellaria media, below), the leaves are "opposite, decussate" but it doesn't have a petiole, so it is something else.

If you really want to know what it is you need to pot it up and see what happens.

I agree with Darrel, it looks like chickweed, it grows everywhere in my terrace and find it frequently growing on emersed and submerged growth

Probably due to seeds falling into my pond which is a kind of storage (or mess, you can call it like this also) for my aquatic plants. Most common in my wabi-kusa, mixed with mosses.
