Echinodorus grisebachii ‘Bleherae’
Echinodorus grisebachii ‘Bleherae’ is a stunning sword plant variety known for its vibrant green, elongated leaves and elegant presence in aquariums. This cultivar is a popular choice among aquascapers for its striking appearance and ability to grow large, providing an excellent focal point in the background or center of planted tanks.
Native to South America, Echinodorus grisebachii ‘Bleherae’ thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation, which encourages lush, healthy growth. While it can adapt to a range of conditions, it grows best in nutrient-rich substrate. Its broad leaves and robust growth make it an ideal choice for larger tanks or aquascapes looking for a tall, bushy effect.
This plant is relatively easy to care for but may require regular trimming to maintain its shape and prevent overcrowding in smaller setups.
