Echinodorus bleheri is undemanding and beautiful. A nutritious bottom
promotes growth, but the plant needs pruning to prevent it depriving plants
underneath of light. E. bleheri does well even in poorly illuminated
aquariums, as it grows towards the light. It is a hardy and easy solitary plant
for both beginners and the more experienced with quite large aquariums. It has
been sold under the name ''Paniculatus''.
