Available in 2 options: Bare-root Potted (rooted in rockwool) Helanthium augustifolia 'Vesuvius' used to be known as an Echinodorus sword, but has been reclassified. It is also known as a 'Corkscrew Chain Sword'. Vesuvius is a smaller, bright green sword, with thin leaves growing in an undulating manner; very much like an erupting volcano! An easy to care for sword, Vesuvius propagates readily by sending out runners. Very easy-to-keep plant that needs neither CO2 or high lights to thrive. Bare-root format: 4-6" tall rosette, natural state Potted format: Larger and more mature, well-rooted in rockwool with slow-release fertilizer, 4-6" tall Grown EMERGENT Growing Requirements: Temperature: 65-80°F pH: 6-8 Light: Low to medium intensity Growth rate: Moderate Perfect for beginners, no CO2 needed As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
