ECHINODORUS DSCHUNGELSTAR NO. 2 'SMALL BEAR' XXL – Large-Sized Red Aquarium Plant for Bold Aquascapes
Echinodorus Dschungelstar No. 2 'Small Bear' XXL is a tropical aquatic plant cultivated under controlled greenhouse conditions until it reaches a large size, ideal for large aquariums or bold aquascaping layouts. Although it's one of the smallest cultivars of the Echinodorus genus, the XXL format offers an immediate impression of maturity and richness in the aquascape. It features reddish-brown leaves and a compact rosette, growing up to 25 cm tall. In smaller tanks (up to 60 cm), it works well as a background plant, while in larger aquariums it stands out beautifully in the midground.
