1-2-GROW! Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus'

Please note that we do not necessarily stock all varieties of 1-2-Grow! and those that we do aren't necessary ordered in large quantity (more than 3/week) due to individual popularity and the limited shelf life of the tissue culture cups. If you need large quantities or notice that a variety you are interested in has not been in stock for more than 2 weeks, please feel free to contact us via email or phone and we will be happy to special order your desired quantities/varieties.

Helanthium bolivianum “Quadricostatus' from South America has characteristic light-green leaves 10-15 cm long which form a good contrast to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each roset becoming 15-20 cm wide. In good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Very light leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients.

There is some confusion about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. magdalenensis. 

Previously known as Echinodorus 'Quadricostatus'.
