Echinodorus Bolivianus (Rusby) Holm- Tissue Culture

Echinodorus bolivianus is a delightful, compact sword plant native to Bolivia and surrounding South American regions, producing narrow, bright green, lance-shaped leaves that form a tidy, low-growing rosette. One of the smaller Echinodorus species, it is perfectly suited to foreground and midground placements in nano and medium-sized tanks, where its fine, grass-like texture creates a beautifully natural, meadow-like effect. Hardy and undemanding, it spreads steadily via runners to fill in surrounding areas over time. This listing is a tissue culture — grown in sterile laboratory conditions, guaranteed pest, snail, and algae-free.

Propagation: Spreads via runners and daughter plants. Allow daughter plants to develop 2–3 leaves before separating from the mother plant.
