Description

Echinodorus Barthii Rosulate Large Motherplant from Tropica

Large motherplant, grown in a 9 cm square pot.

The cultivar Echinodorus ‘Barthii’ is a decorative and beautiful solitary plant for large aquariums.
It becomes 25-50 cm tall and the whole rosette 2030 cm wide.

The leaves change colour from dark-red in the youngest leaves to dark-green in the oldest.
The colour develops well when the light intensity is high and there are sufficient micronutrients in the aquarium.

A nutritious bottom and CO2 addition promote growth.
This plant takes a lot of light from plants underneath, so it must be pruned occasionally.
It used to be sold as Double Red.
