Echinodorus bleheri (paniculatus)

Echinodorus bleheri (paniculatus) is without comparison the most popular aquarium plant ever. It is a modest and fast growing plant which prefers from average to high light intensities. It favours a rich substrate, just like any fast growing aquarium plant. Echinodorus bleheri can grow to a significant size with more than fifty leaves. It is easily reproduced after flowering when small plants develop on the peduncle. The small plants are cut off - leave a piece of the peduncle on each new plant - and replanted in the substrate.
