Echinodorus Horizontalis Mini

Description

Echinodorus horizontalis ‘Mini’ is a dwarf version of the broader E. horizontalis, known for its spreading, horizontal leaf growth and rich green coloration. This compact variety is perfect for mid-sized tanks where you want the beauty of a Sword Plant without the towering size. Its rosette growth and flatter leaf angles give it a bushier, fuller appearance compared to upright swords.

Though less common than other varieties, this plant is beginner-friendly and thrives in low to moderate-tech setups. With proper care, it forms an attractive centerpiece or midground feature in planted tanks.


Care and Planting Directions

Plant in nutrient-rich substrate to support its root-heavy feeding habits. It does well in moderate lighting, and while CO₂ isn't necessary, it helps boost growth and leaf size. Trim older leaves at the base to encourage new shoots. Horizontalis Mini will slowly spread via side shoots or runners.
