Echinodorus cordifolius Tropica Marble Queen

Echinodorus cordifolius Tropica Marble Queen is a number one choice for the place of honour in the aquarium.
The colour composition of the leaves is very special and goes from deep green over green to yellowish to produce a marbled leaf surface. However, the marbled look is usually lost at low light conditions and is therefore suitable for small open aquaria which in general receives enough light.
Much like Echinodorus cordifolius the growth is fast but Echinodorus cordifolius Tropica Marble Queen tends to stay in the aquatic environment much longer before it sets emergent leaves. The plant benefits very much from a nutrient rich substrate and from CO2 enrichment of the water.
These plant are recognised as some of the most beautiful and robust aquarium plant on the market. Over 150 different varieties are normally available for freshly harvested delivery.
