Care Tips: Echinodorus 'Paul Kloecker' is a hybrid plant known for its large, broad leaves that are often dark green with a slight reddish hue. It thrives in medium to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization to encourage healthy growth and vibrant coloration. It has a medium growth rate, so regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and size. A nutrient-rich substrate will support its root system. This plant is best placed in the midground to background of aquascapes due to its size, where it can serve as a striking focal point.
