Echinodorus subulatus

Echinodorus subulatus (family Alismataceae) needs a large aquarium to grow  to its best. The leaves are dark green and fairly tough compared to Echinodorus  radicans which is of similar size. This large plant is undemanding except  for good lighting and like all fast growing plants will benefit from CO2 enrichment.  The plant can be propagated easily by removing the rooted plantlets from the  flower stalk and planting them in the substrate.

Habitat

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