How to grow aquarium plants at home? what kind to plant?

Question

How can I grow aquarium plants at home?

I bought some "aquarium plants" from a local store here. The lady doesn't know what kind they are. They are long and skinny and have leaves going all the way around. I put them in my turtle tank and they love them! But I am wondering

1. What kind of plant this is? Similar plants they will eat?

2. How can I grow them at home?

i dont know much about turtles, but it probably depends on the species you have as to what they'll eat.  

to grow these ones you probably just need water and light, since they're very easy to grow.  some more difficult plants will need much more care...

try a bucket in the garden.  cut one into segments of a few inches and it should grow quite well
