Echinodorus bleheri is undemanding and beautiful.
A nutritious bottom promotes growth, but the plant needs pruning
to prevent it depriving plants underneath of light. Echinodorus
bleheri does well even in poorly illuminated aquariums, as it
grows towards the light. It is a hardy and easy solitary plant
for both beginners and the more experienced with quite large aquariums.
It has been sold under the name ''Paniculatus''. |
