Echinodorus bleheri E 100 Echinodorus Barthi"Red Melon"

Echinodorus x barthii is a decorative and beautiful solitary plant for aquariums. The leaves change colour 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 sufficient micro-nutrients in the aquarium. A nutritious bottom and CO2 addition promote growth. This plant must be pruned occasionally. It used to be sold as "Double Red''.

This Lilaeopsis species demands less light than Lilaeopsis brasiliensis. Tropica's founder, Holger Windeløv, found it on Mauritius in 1992.
