Care Tips: Echinodorus horizontalis mini is a compact and attractive variant of the traditional Echinodorus horizontalis, making it ideal for smaller aquariums or as a foreground plant. It has small, elongated green leaves that create a lush, carpet-like effect in the aquarium. This species thrives under medium to high lighting, and while it can grow in lower light, brighter conditions will help it maintain its compact form and vibrant color. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate, and supplementing with CO₂ will enhance its growth rate and leaf density. The plant is tolerant of slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5) and stable water conditions. Regular pruning is beneficial to maintain its size and shape, encouraging fresh growth. Echinodorus horizontalis mini is perfect for filling foreground spaces and creating a dense, lush effect in planted aquascapes.
