Echinodorus paniculatus (family Alismataceae) is the most popular of the  Echinodorus species and possibly all the aquarium plants. This is a fairly  easy growing plant that needs a good amount of light and a fertile substrate.  These plants flower readily and like the other Echinodorus species form plantlets  on the flower stalk or peduncle, these can be separated and replanted in the  substrate (seems to flower more in the summer months). Plants grow large with  many leaves, up to 50 centimetres.

Habitat

This is an aquatic emergent plant. It has very high moisture needs; suitable for bogs and water gardens.
