This plant has characteristic light-green leaves which form a good contrast
to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups. In
good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Growth is more
compact when planted in a pot or between stones or other objects. Very light
leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients. There is some confusion
about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus
var. Magdalenensis.
