| Echinodorus martii (maior) is a bit overlooked among plant aquarists. The plant has changed name a couple of times but the current valid name is now E. martii. Echinodorus martii (maior) has large light-green transparent leaves with bright ribs and the leaf rim is beautifully undulating. The plant is quite sensitive to iron deficiency, like most other Echinodorus species, and iron deficiency causes almost white transparent leaves. A good nutrient rich substrate besides CO2 enrichment and high light enhances the growth of Echinodorus martii (maior) significantly. Otherwise, the plant does not require any special attention. | |||||||||||||||||||||
