Description
Common Name: Echinodorus Vesuvius
Helanthium ‘Vesuvius’, previously known as Echinodorus Vesuvius, features bright green leaves that exhibit a curling growth pattern. When provided with optimal conditions and a clean environment, Helanthium Vesuvius grows at a steady pace and makes for a wonderful background plant choice. It is quite hardy and can be easily propagated by separating plantlets that form via runners.
Notes:
Echinodorus is a very hardy species of aquatic plants. Most Echinodorus require nutrient-dense soil to thrive as they are heavy root feeders.
Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep “potted” aquarium plants, click here.
CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
