Echinodorus 'Barthii'

Echinodorus 'Barthii' is a beautiful, decorative solitary plant for large aquariums. It grows to 25-50 cm in height, with the entire rosette reaching 20-30 cm in width.

The leaves change color to a dark red on the younger leaves and to dark green on the older ones. The color develops well when the light intensity is high and there are sufficient micronutrients in the aquarium. A nutritious substrate and the addition of CO2 promote growth.

It used to be sold as "Double Red".
