Care Tips: Echinodorus 'Vesuvius' is a hybrid plant known for its unique, curled, and twisted leaves that resemble volcanic eruptions, giving it an exotic appearance. It thrives in medium to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization to maintain its vibrant coloration and healthy growth. This plant grows at a medium rate, so occasional trimming is necessary to control its size and maintain its shape. A nutrient-rich substrate helps support its growth. It is best suited for the midground to background of aquascapes, where its unusual leaf structure adds texture and visual interest.
