HELANTHIUM TENELLUM ´RED´ IN-VITRO

Description

In the past, this grass-like plant was better known as „Echinodorus tenellus“.
It has been one of the most popular foreground plants for many decades and can be described as a ‘classic’.
In contrast to the purely green growth form ‚parvulum‘, the narrow-leaved growth form becomes violet reddish with good lighting – a nice contrast to bright green cushion forming plants such as Micranthemum tweediei.
Strongly cut back, Helanthium tenellum ´Red´ forms a dense „grass carpet“.
In aquascaping individual shoots set fine accents in a landscape.
