This listing: Corkscrew Sword! (Echinodorus Vesuvius) Bundle
Description: Vesuvius sword plant – also known as Echinodorus angustifolia, Echinodorus ‘Vesuvius,’ and Helanthium ‘Vesuvius.’ Similar to corkscrew vallisneria, vesuvius looks like curly underwater grass, but its blades are narrower and grow in a tighter twist. Its common name was chosen because the leaves appear to be rising from the base of the plant much like the smoke wisps spiraling out of Mount Vesuvius. However, be aware that vesuvius is usually grown above water (or emersed) so don’t be confused if you receive a plant with wider leaves and even flower buds. When planted in an aquarium, new submersed grown leaves in their slender form will soon appear.
Size Range: 8+ inches

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in-vitro aka tissue culture/lab grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
