No, supposedly not. The 'Porto Velho' does not have the bullate leaves and is smaller in diameter.

I don't think so. Luis is sending me some of the Porto Vehlo - and that's who
I got the Low Grow from too. I'll have definite proof soon.

Be sure to spread some of your proof around to other club members once you get it. :mrgreen:

I got some of this from Cavan recently. The two are definitely different. I'll share some with the club before too long.

I've only been growing this for a couple of weeks now but I like what I see!
How's it doing for you guys?

It's growing nicely for me too, staying low to the ground, but the leaf shape, coloration, and size is preferable to 'Low Grow' I think. I like it!

I like it too, but it's not fairing well in my Crypts / Swords tank. I think it needs a little potassium.

Dave has definitely had to add K for 'Low Grow' to be happy. Presumably, that's the same.
