Echinodorus decumbens – Potted Aquarium Plant
Echinodorus decumbens is a narrow-leaved wild sword plant from Brazil, with slender, grass-like leaves that set it apart from bushier Echinodorus varieties. It has a moderate growth rate and can reach anywhere from 20 to 60cm in height, making it flexible for foreground, midground, or background planting depending on how it's positioned and trimmed.
This is an easygoing plant with no special demands: it grows well in medium-hard water with a nutrient-rich substrate, under medium to strong lighting. CO2 isn't essential but will help it along. It tolerates a wide temperature range of 22-30°C and pH of 6.0-8.0, including the higher temperatures often used in Discus tanks, and propagates readily via rhizome division as it establishes.
