ECHINODORUS GRISEBACHII ‘TROPICA’ – COMPACT AQUARIUM PLANT FOR FOREGROUND AND MIDGROUND
Echinodorus grisebachii ‘Tropica’, also known as Echinodorus parviflorus ‘Tropica’, is a small aquarium plant discovered in the 1980s at the Tropica nursery in Denmark. This compact Echinodorus variety is highly valued for its tidy growth habit and its adaptability to a wide range of freshwater aquarium layouts.
The plant forms a spreading rosette of narrow, obovate and slightly bullate leaves, medium to dark green in color, with an elegant and natural appearance reminiscent of Samolus valerandi. Thanks to its limited height, typically between 5 and 10 cm, Echinodorus grisebachii ‘Tropica’ is ideal for the foreground or midground, where it creates compact and well-defined green accents.
It is a hardy and undemanding plant, suitable even for beginner aquarists. It grows well under low to medium lighting and benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate, as typical for Echinodorus species. Root fertilization supports stronger growth and more intense leaf coloration. This plant is perfect for natural aquariums, Dutch-style layouts and community tanks, providing shelter and shaded areas for small fish and invertebrates.
