Description

Echinodorus altlandsberg is an attractive Echinodorus cultivar producing spotted, lightly marbled leaves with distinctive lighter markings on a mid-green background. The spotting is most prominent on younger leaves and gradually fades as the leaves mature, creating an interesting two-phase appearance as new growth emerges. It reaches a moderate size of 20–35cm.

Medium light, no CO2 required, planted in substrate with root tabs. Growth is reliable and relatively fast for a spotted cultivar. Well suited to midground to background positioning in most aquariums.

Plant in the substrate and use root tabs near the roots. Propagation via daughter plants on flower stems.

Product FAQs

Helpful details before you buy.

Does the spotting stay on the leaves?

The spotting is most pronounced on younger leaves and fades as they mature. New growth always brings fresh patterning.

Does it need CO2?

No — grows well without CO2. Root tabs near the roots are more important.

How large does it get?

Moderate size — 20–35cm depending on conditions. Good for midground to background positioning.

How do I fertilise it?

Root tabs placed near the base of the plant. Echinodorus are heavy root feeders.

How do I propagate it?

Daughter plants form on flower stems. Detach once they have 3–4 leaves and visible roots, then replant.
