IMPORTANT: Our aquarium plants may vary in growth forms. Because of this, please understand how to properly transition and acclimate plant(s) into desired form(s). We do our best to thoroughly clean and inspect all plants prior to shipment but cannot guarantee lead bunch or potted plants to be free from snails and/or algae. Not your thing? Please consider purchasing tissue culture aquarium plants! Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting. LIVE PLANTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRESS AND DAMAGE FROM TRANSIT - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Python stays relatively small when compared to other species of Echinodorus making it suitable for medium to large aquariums. New growth is typically a brownish-red tone and slowly changes to olive-green as the plant matures. Echinodorus Python's emersed form tends to be larger with green foliage that remains stable without markings. Like other Echinodorus plants, we recommend a nutrient-dense aquarium substrate and good lighting. CO2 injection isn't necessary, but will aid in promoting quicker growth and improved health.
