Echinodorus cordifolius 'Marble Queen' is one of the most visually striking aquarium plants available, producing heart-shaped leaves with dramatic cream and green marbling — a genuine variegated pattern that looks almost artificially decorative but is completely natural. Each leaf is individual; no two are patterned identically. The visual impact in an aquarium is significant.
Medium light, no CO2 required, planted in substrate with root tabs. The variegated colouration can be more or less vivid depending on conditions — good lighting enhances the cream tones. Growth is moderate and the plant remains manageable.
Plant in the midground to background. Propagation via daughter plants on flower stems.
