Care Tips: Echinodorus macrophyllus is a robust plant that thrives in medium to high lighting, with adequate CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization supporting its healthy growth. Its large, broad leaves make it a striking addition to the background of aquascapes. While it can grow relatively quickly, it is best to trim the plant occasionally to keep it compact and encourage fresh growth. A nutrient-rich substrate is essential to promote root development.
