Echinodorus Martii ‘Major’

Echinodorus Martii (sometimes known as Echinodorus Major) is another extremely rare aquarium plant in New Zealand. Extremely difficult to come across and often identified incorrectly by hobbyists. This Echinodorus specieis is an extremely easy plant to grow and is great for beginners.

A medium sized aquatic plant with light green leaves, this plant is a heavy root feeder  and will benefit from a nutrient rich substrate along with the use of root tabs. Co2 injection is not required but will definitely improve its overall health and growth form.

Like all Echinodorus, it can grow to a decent size, to keep its size in control, please ensure that leaves are trimmed ocassionally. In a well lit aquarium this plant may start to develop orange and red hues, capable of turning into a centre piece and will look truly fabulous.

The maximum possible height for this plant is roughly 60cm however, 30cm is the norm.

Inspiration

Not all plants are equal. We work really hard to make sure you get the best quality plants at the best prices. What you can expect to receive are as per photos. Plants are snail free, algae free and in great health. Tissue culture plants can vary in quantity and size. Tissue culture plants will continue to grow in their cups until the nutrients within the media is completely exhausted. Store in a cool and clean area if you do not intend to plant immediately. Plant immediately once opened. Please refer to our guide on tissue culture plants.

We recommend the usage of a 2HR Aquarist Fertilizer with all our aquarium plants for the best growth, colouration and plant health.
