Echinodorus angustifolia (Imported)

This “twisty” sword has a unique appearance. The leaves twist and curl as they grow straight up to a maximum height of about 20 cm. Great mid ground plant. Reproduces by runners. Easy to grow under moderate or better light. Plants are small with shallow roots.

This plant is a delicate marsh plant from brazil. Even though this plant belongs to the most recommendable and undemanding sword plants, it is has especially long, ribbon-like leaf blades, and can be easily confused with Vallisneria.

It is happy in both soft and hard water. It looks good on the side and rear panels appears and grows best under intense lighting conditions.
