Echinodorus Atlandsberg
You will receive: 1 pot, ready to plant — freshly delivered from the nursery.
✅ Level: Easy — Echinodorus Atlandsberg is a slow-growing, rewarding aquarium plant. CO₂ not required, but promotes growth.
Echinodorus Atlandsberg stands out with its soft pink-red leaf color. Grown emerged, the leaf has a red main vein, which unfortunately largely fades once the plant grows submerged for longer — but the pink-red hues continue to provide a beautiful appearance. Due to its slow growth, this Echinodorus is also suitable for smaller aquariums.

✂️ Care
Plant the rhizome in a nutrient-rich substrate for the best growth. The plant does well without CO₂, but an addition ensures firmer leaves and richer color. Regularly remove old or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy.
💡 Planter tip
The soft pink-red hues create a beautiful, subtle contrast with green plants in the midground or background. Also suitable for smaller aquariums due to its slow growth.
❓ Frequently asked questions

Does this plant need CO₂?
No, CO₂ is not required, but it does promote growth and leaf color.
