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.
