The Echinodorus bleheri from South America is a low-maintenance and beautiful plant that reaches a height of 20-50 centimeters. A nutrient-rich substrate promotes its growth; however, it requires pruning to avoid shading of the lower plants. The Echinodorus bleheri thrives even in poor lighting conditions, as it grows toward the light. It is a hardy and easy plant, ideal for both beginners and experienced users with fairly large aquariums.
