About the species
Helanthium 'Quadricostatus' from South America has characteristic light green leaves 10-15 cm long that offer a great contrast to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each rosette becomes 15-20 cm wide. Feels good even in fairly dim light.
In good conditions it produces runners that spread over the bottom. Very pale leaves are a sign of micronutrient deficiency. There is some confusion about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. magdalenensis.
