Echinodorus schlueteri is an orbiculate ''sword'' plant whose low,
broad growth makes it suitable for small aquariums. The youngest leaves have
clear red-brown spots, which turn very light in older leaves. It is generally
undemanding, but at high light intensity the red-brown spots become more
strongly coloured. A nutritious bottom promotes growth. See Echinodorus
schlueteri 'Leopard'.
