Echinodorus grisebachii 'Tropica'

Product description

Echinodorus grisebachii 'Tropica', also known as Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica', is a small and characteristic sword plant that was discovered at the Tropica nursery in Denmark during the 1980s. The plant fits very well in the foreground or center of the aquarium thanks to its compact size, which usually grows between 5 and 10 cm high.

It forms a broad rosette of medium to dark green, slightly bubbly leaves that are narrow and inverted ovate, with an appearance reminiscent of Samolus valerandi.
