Echinodorus St. Elmo's Fire

Echinodorus 'St. Elmo's Fire' is a compact sword that unfurls broad, vivid light-green leaves in a tidy rosette, staying smaller than many of its cousins. That restrained size makes it a versatile midground centerpiece even in medium tanks. A hungry root-feeder, it does its best work over a nutrient-rich substrate or with root tabs.
