This planthas beautiful hammered leaves with a small tip. The size depends on the light intensity, and in poor light it is quite a small plant. It looks best in small groups.

Echinodorus parviflorus ‘Tropica’ was selected and introduced to the aquarium trade by Tropica Nurseries of Denmark. The rosette sword plant, as it is more commonly known in the US, is unlike most other sword plants in the fact that it is smaller than most. Echinodorus parviflorus ‘Tropica’ can be used in fore – midground areas of the planted aquarium.

Beautiful midground to foreground plant…very interesting leaf shape and texture.
