Echinodorus angustifolia 'Vesuvius' got its name from the curl of the leaves just like the wisps of smoke off the top of Mount Vesuvius. This interesting new aquarium plant is fast growing and spreads easily by runners.
For the aquarium hobbyist who has been looking for new varieties of Echinodorus, this will be an excellent addition. Lighting conditions from low to high will work with the medium range being ideal in the aquarium.
