In a plant grown in water, the leaves are thin, green, scarious with short petioles, oval, narrowed at the base and apex, with weakly pronounced veins, 15 cm long and 2 cm wide. Production is carried out using creeping shoots, on which leaf buds appear daughter plants. Echinodorus can also be grown in greenhouses.
