Echinodorus quadricostatus "magdalenensis grows to a height of 10-15cm and a width of 15-20+cm and is characterised by its light-green leaves which form a good contrast to the darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups. In good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Growth is more compact when planted in a pot or between stones or other objects. Very light leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients. There is some confusion about the name of this plant and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. Magdalenensis.
