Description

Echinodorus impaii is a compact, mid-sized sword plant with neat, bright-green oval leaves arranged in a tidy rosette. It typically reaches 15–25 cm in height, making it a versatile choice for the midground of medium to large aquariums.

This species is straightforward to maintain, tolerating a broad range of water parameters and growing well under medium light without CO2 supplementation. A substrate with good nutritional content encourages steady growth and strong root development.

Supplied as an established potted plant, Echinodorus impaii works well as a structural focal point in the midground, providing a natural contrast to finer-leaved stem plants or low-growing foreground species. Its restrained size makes it suitable for aquariums from around 100 litres upward.

This plant arrived in beautiful condition, nice strong roots on it too. I removed the basket and floss type stuff, gave it a rinse and it went in the aquarium. It looks great in there. Delivery was quick and the packing was good, not too much padding (didn't need it) and the box was a repurpose one as stated in their leaflet. It will be reused again by me in the near future so an extra bonus :). Emails to inform me of the status of delivery came quickly so I could plan a bit of time to sort and be ready to plant them. Well worth buying from them
