During the last meeting at Jason's old apt. someone was giving away a few items including a few bags of substrate.
I took a couple of bags and am using it now. I was surprised to find a new plant growing in it and am unsure as to what the plant is. It appears to be some small variety of sword plant.
Can someone ID it please:

That would be Blyxa japonica

OK, thank you. Right now it stands at about 4". I'm assuming it's not done growing. I'll have to check to see how tall they get.

That is about as tall as it is going to get. It has a branching rhizome that can be cut up into smaller pieces every 6 months or so.
