Aquafleur Echinodorus Radicans 

Echinodorus radican is a stunning aquatic plant characterised by its oval leaves and long stems, showcasing a vibrant green colour that adds a lively touch to any aquarium. While this plant can reach heights of up to 70 cm in optimal conditions, it typically remains slightly smaller when grown in an aquarium setting.

This versatile plant can thrive both submerged and emersed, but when grown out of water, it requires moderate humidity or regular misting to prevent the leaves from drying out. Echinodorus radican is an excellent choice for background planting, making it ideal for beginners looking to enhance their aquascape effortlessly.

As a heavy root feeder, this plant thrives best when planted in nutrient-rich soil and will benefit from the addition of root tabs every few months to support its growth.
