Echinodorus 'Aquartica' is a unique compact sword plant with broad, rounded green leaves that form a lush rosette shape. Unlike many taller Echinodorus species, 'Aquartica' stays short and dense, making it an excellent choice for the foreground or midground in aquascapes that require structure without excessive height.
Its tidy, symmetrical appearance works well in open layouts or Dutch-style tanks, and it thrives with or without CO₂. A great choice for hobbyists who want an easy, slow-growing focal point that stays in proportion.
