alanmin4304 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Echinodorus horizontalis plant grown submersed. This is a very rare plant because it is not normally commnercially grown as it is so slow to propagate. Echinodorus leopard is a hybrid of this plant and that is why it has a low form and is also hard to propagate. The leaves grow horizontally hence the name.

Adrienne Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 how do you propagate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Very slowly. I am hoping to eventually grow some emersed and get some seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 It looks very similar to the plant I was asking you about and thats why I was wondering. My plant now has another 3 plantlets growing off it so I guess its not the same one. I need to send you one of them so you can have a look. I have planted the other two and they are about 8 - 9 cm high now so are growing pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 This is quite a small plant. Do you have a pic of yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 then its not mine - my ones the one that you asked me if it looked like it had been hit by a hammer and if so send you one of the plantlets. I'm not sure if thats how you would describe it but possibly. I did ask a couple of other guys yesterday if thats how you would describe it and they did think possibly yes.

alanmin4304 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 If you do a google search for Echinodorus parviflorus tropica and look at the tropica site you will see the plant I mean. They are in NZ and I have one but would be keen on some more if that is what you have. I suspect they also are not easy to propagate.
