Description

Contents: One Echinodorus 'Felix' plant,  

Dimensions: Varies with age; typically starts at 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) in height

General Description

  • Common Name(s): Felix Sword
  • Scientific Name: Echinodorus 'Felix'
  • Visual Description: Echinodorus 'Felix' is known for its large, robust leaves that can range from deep green to a reddish tint under high lighting. Its substantial root system and tall, imposing stature make it a centerpiece in any aquarium.

Growing Conditions

  • Light Requirements: Medium to high; more intense lighting will enhance leaf coloration
  • Water Requirements: Prefers clean, well-circulated water, adaptable to soft to moderately hard conditions
  • Temperature Range: 22-30°C (72-86°F)
  • Humidity Preferences: Fully submerged

Planting & Care

  • Substrate Preferences: Rich, nutrient-dense substrate to support its extensive root system
  • Fertilization Needs: Benefits from regular applications of root tabs and liquid fertilizers, especially iron for vibrant foliage
  • Propagation Methods: Propagates through adventitious shoots or by separating and replanting the side shoots
  • Pruning/Tidying Up: Prune older or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a clean appearance

Placement

  • Aquarium Placement: Ideal as a background plant given its potential size, providing an excellent backdrop for other plants and fish
  • Attachment: Does not require attachment; roots directly into the substrate
  • Spacing Requirements: Allow ample space for growth; ideally, plant 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) apart from other large plants

Compatibility

  • Aquarium Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of freshwater aquarium setups, including community tanks, South American biotope tanks, and larger planted aquariums
  • Pest/Disease Resistance: Robust and resilient, but monitor for signs of nutrient deficiencies or excess light, leading to algae growth on leaves

Special Requirements or Tips

  • Special Care Instructions: Ensure consistent nutrient levels and lighting to prevent stunted growth or pale leaves
  • Seasonal Care: Indoor aquariums typically provide stable conditions year-round; adjustments may be necessary for outdoor or natural light-exposed setups

Ecological Impact

  • Invasiveness: Not invasive when kept in contained aquarium environments
  • Benefit to Wildlife: Provides excellent shelter and breeding grounds for aquatic fauna, enhancing the ecosystem within the aquarium
