“A special echinodorus as it says in the name. It is very compact. This means that this plant actually has a maximum height of 40 cm and it will slowly produce new leaves but always at the top. Therefore the plant very slowly becomes bigger. Its colour is a very special dark green from the old leaf to a super red from the new leaf. The leaf shape is like a very large potato serving spoon and very marked. It is also very beautiful to put several small compactas together! ”
