Echinodorus 'Barthii'

Product description

About the species

Large mother plant, grown in a 9 cm square pot. The cultivar Echinodorus 'Barthii' is a decorative and beautiful solitary plant for large aquariums. It will be 25-50 cm high and the entire rosette 20-30 cm wide. The leaves change color from dark red in the youngest leaves to dark green in the oldest.

The color develops well when the light intensity is high and there are enough micronutrients in the aquarium. A nutrient-rich bottom and CO2 addition promote growth. This plant takes a lot of light from plants below, so it needs to be pruned occasionally. Previously it was sold as "Double Red".

FAQ about Echinodorus 'Barthii'

How do I attach Echinodorus 'Barthii'?

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.

Does Echinodorus 'Barthii' need CO₂?

Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.

How do I keep Echinodorus 'Barthii' looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.

Is the moss suitable for a shrimp aquarium?

Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
