Care Tips: Echinodorus yeni is an attractive aquatic plant known for its lush, broad leaves and vibrant green coloration. It thrives under medium to high lighting, which encourages healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Like many Echinodorus species, it prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from regular fertilization, especially with iron and micronutrients. CO₂ supplementation is highly recommended for optimal growth, particularly to avoid leggy growth and enhance leaf coloration. Echinodorus yeni has a moderate growth rate and will need occasional trimming to prevent it from becoming too large or sprawling. It works well in the midground to background of aquascapes, offering a great contrast to other plants in the tank. This plant is adaptable to a range of water conditions, though it performs best in stable, slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). With proper care, it can be a stunning addition to any aquascape, providing lush greenery and texture to the tank.
