Echinodorus schlueteri grows to a height of 15-25cm and a width of 15-20cm and is an orbiculate "sword" plant whose low, broad growth makes it suitable for small aquariums. The youngest leaves have clear red-brown spots, which turn very light in older leaves. It is generally undemanding but at high light intensity the red-brown spots become more strongly coloured. A nutritious bottom promotes growth. See Echinodorus schlueteri 'Leopard'.
