Care Tips: Echinodorus horizontalis 'Variegated' is a striking plant known for its elongated, variegated leaves with light green and cream-colored patterns. It thrives in medium to high lighting, and CO₂ supplementation along with regular fertilization helps maintain healthy growth and vibrant leaf coloration. This plant has a medium growth rate, so occasional pruning is necessary to maintain its compact size and shape. A nutrient-rich substrate is essential for its root development. It is best placed in the midground to background of aquascapes, where its bold variegated leaves can add contrast and interest to the layout.
