Description

Echinodorus 'Green Flame' was bred from a population of E. 'Red Flame' by Hans Barth in 2000. It grows to a height of 30-40 cm, making it a medium-to-large-sized sword plant with a dense leaf rosette. Its submerged leaves are long and oval-shaped, featuring pale red spots on a green background that differ from those found on E. 'Red Flame'. This variety requires moderate lighting to thrive and grows relatively quickly.
