Echinodorus grisebachii 'Tropica', also known as Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica', is a small, distinctive sword plant that was discovered in the Tropica nursery in Denmark during the 1980s. This plant is well-suited for the foreground or middle ground of aquariums due to its compact size, which typically ranges from 5 to 10 cm in height. It forms a spreading rosette of medium to dark green, slightly bullate leaves that are narrow and obovate, resembling Samolus valerandi.
Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup. Grown by Tropica Aquarium Plants.
