Care Tips: Echinodorus harbich is a robust and attractive plant, known for its broad, dark green leaves. It has a moderate growth rate and is suitable for midground to background positions in aquariums. This plant prefers medium to high lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth. It will benefit from occasional CO₂ supplementation, although it can still thrive without it. Echinodorus harbich enjoys stable water conditions with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). Regular trimming of older or larger leaves helps keep the plant compact and tidy.
