Category: Aquarium Plants

Helanthium ‘Quadricostatus’ from South America has characteristic light-green leaves 10-15 cm long which form a good contrast to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each roset becoming 15-20 cm wide. In good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Very light leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients. There is some confusion about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. magdalenensis. 

Previously known as Echinodorus 'Quadricostatus'.

Aurora X. ★★★★★

Planted these as a cluster near my darker crypts and the contrast is exactly what I hoped for—those light green 10-15 cm leaves really pop. They settled in within a week and are already throwing out runners. Gorgeous in a group, just as the description says.

Natalie U. ★★★★★

The leaves arrived healthy and quite long, around 10-15 cm as described, which immediately added a nice light-green contrast to my darker plants. Planted them in a small group like suggested, and they’ve started spreading nicely within the first week.

Eva ★★★★★

Even with my moderate lighting, these little rosettes have already sent out runners and filled in beautifully. The leaves are that perfect light green that really pops against my dark substrate.
