    Description

    Echinodorus 'Fancy Twist' is a cultivar with uniquely twisted and spiralling leaves — the leaf blades curl and wind along their length rather than lying flat, creating an architectural, almost sculptural effect on each individual leaf. As a midground specimen the twisted leaves catch the light differently depending on the angle, adding constant visual interest.

    Medium light, no CO2 required, planted in substrate with root tabs. Care requirements are the same as any Echinodorus — the twisted leaf form is what makes it stand out rather than any particular cultivation demands.

    Plant in the midground. Propagation via daughter plants on flower stems once established.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    Is the twisted leaf form stable?

    Yes — the spiralling and twisting of the leaves is a stable cultivar characteristic, not a sign of nutrient deficiency or poor health.

    Does it need CO2?

    No — grows without CO2. Root tabs near the roots support the best growth.

    How large does it get?

    Moderate — 20–35cm in most conditions. Good for midground positioning.

    How do I fertilise it?

    Root tabs near the roots — Echinodorus are heavy root feeders.

    How do I propagate it?

    Daughter plants on flower stems — detach once they have 3–4 leaves and visible roots.
