Echinodorus 'Red Flame'

Echinodorus 'Red Flame' is a protected variety that originates from the nursery Hans Barth in Germany. It is said to be selected from a stock of Echinodorus 'Ozelot' and differs from this variety by the much more conspicuous red patches. The submerged leaves are basically red-brown but with beautiful dark red patches and the plant holds therefore a high value as solitary eye catcher in the aquarium. See Echinodorus osiris for more information on growth requirements.

Echinodorus 'Rosé'

Echinodorus 'Rosé' is ahybrid between E. horizontalis and E. horemanii"Rot" and was first produced by H. Barth in Dessau, the former Eastern Germany. On submerged plants the old leaves are brownish-green whereas the youngleaves are beautifully red coloured whereas the emergent leaves are yellow-green. It is a very sturdy plant which does not require any special conditions. It does,however, prefer a relatively fertile substrate as mostother fast growing plants. Many other new hybrid aquarium plants are quite difficult to culture in the aquarium but Echinodorus 'Rosé' is very modest and at the same time beautiful too.

Echinodorus cordifolius "Ovalis" RADICAN

Echinodorus cordifolius "Ovalis"

*Echinodorus cordifolius Ovalis*
Family:	Alismataceae
Scientific Name:	Echinodorus cordifolius Ovalis
Common Name:
Distribution:	Central and South America
Height:	20-35
Width:	20-30
Light Required:	medium-very high
Temperature:	18-26
pH:	5-8
Ease of care:	easy
Notes:	Echinodorus cordifolius "Ovalis" is a small, orbiculate "sword" plant whose low, wide growth makes it suitable for small aquariums. A nutritious bottom promotes growth, and if the leaves turn light this indicates a shortage of micro-nutrients. The plant forms stems which (unlike most other "sword" plants) bend down towards the bottom and form their own adventive plants. It is hardy and easy for both beginners and the more experienced

Echinodorus grandiflorus

Echinodorus grandiflorus is perfectly suited for large open aquaria where it willingly grows out of the water. It tolerates the relatively dry air but if the light sources are very warmit helps the plant if we spray the leaves with water occasionally. E. grandiflorus ready blooms and small plants form on the flower stem. These plants can be transplanted into the aquarium when roots have formed. Itprefers a nutrient rich substrate and is well suited for indoor ponds because it tolerates quite low temperatures.In South America the local people use the dried leaves for making tea.

It looks best in small groups. Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica' was named after Tropica in 1985 by the Danish botanists Niels Jacobsen and Lauritz Holm-Nielsen.
