Echinodorus Harbich

the scientific name Echinodorus Harbich

An water plant called Echinodorus Harbich is a mutation of its larger relative, Echinodorus Cordifolius. E. Harbich has dense, rounded foliage that is colored in the traditional sword green hue. This specific Echinodorus version is substantially smaller in size and, like all swords, is relatively simple to maintain, making it a fantastic choice for new hobbyists. As the plant ages, the younger leaves gradually change from their reddish hue to their characteristic green hue.

True aquatic plants like Echinodorus Harbich should be put directly into a good aquarium substrate. As Echinodorus are heavy root feeders, it is crucial to supplement the plants with root tabs when utilizing inert surfaces like sand or gravel. Overall, this aquatic plant is simple to grow, doesn't require much care, and is ideal for larger planted aquariums.
