Common Name: Spade-Leaf/Radican Sword
A comparatively fast-growing Echinodorus from Mexico, suitable for large aquariums reaching 20-50 cm long leaves and a 15-30 cm wide roset. Easy and undemanding, excellent plant for beginners.
Its wavy, light green leaves are very decorative. Unlike other round-leafed varieties of the species, Echinodorus cordifolius is less likely to grow up over the water surface. If it grows large enough, it forms large leaves just under the surface instead.
Echinodorus cordifolius
Remove the plant from the pot and remove the rock wool and rinse in water. Remove dead leaves. Using aquascaping tweezers, plant in substrate.
A nutritious bottom promotes growth, but the plant needs pruning to prevent it depriving plants underneath of light. Does well in low light and CO2 is not required. Great as a background plant.
DO NOT RELEASE PLANTS AND LIVESTOCK INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS.
