Echinodorus grisebachii Tropica

The origins of this small Echinodorus are some what unknown but what does make this plant special is the size that it grows to. Most Echinodorus grow to a large size but not this one – grows only to about 15cm in height. Not only that but it grows slowly too which means it needs little maintenance. It does prefer a nutritious substrate so make sure (as a minimum) you’re using Neutro TerraTabs which help feed plants from the roots.

Originating from South America the Echinodorus grisebachii Tropica is a splendid looking aquatic plant. With hammered leaves and small tips, new leaves will appear ‘black’ when they sprout but will grow into their bright shade of green.
