Echinodorus 'Altlansberg'

Echinodorus 'Altlansberg' leaves are dark tan in colour. The leaves are large and slightly wavy. The submersed form is compact and relatively slow growing, though eventually obtaining a large size fitting of a centerpiece plant for the aquarium. Like most sword plants in the aquarium Echinodorus 'Altlandsberg' will eventually put out surface leaves and an inflorescence on the surface.  This plant was hybridized by Tomas Kaliebe from Germany and is new to the Canadian market. It is a mid-background plant that is low maintenance but does feed quite heavily.
