About the species

Formerly known as Echinodorus tenellus 'Green'. This small rosette-forming aquarium plant easily makes a 5-10 cm high carpet when the light is good and the bottom layer is rich in nutrients. Even at high intensity, this variety remains healthy green unlike the more common, more reddish, Helanthium tenellum. An easy and rather undemanding foreground plant.
