Helanthium Vesuvius, an enchanting freshwater plant hailing from South America, formerly known as Echinodorus Vesuvius or Twisted Chain Sword. This unique aquatic gem belongs to the Alismataceae family and is prized for its captivating appearance, featuring elegantly elongated leaves with a charming spiral pattern.
Growing up to 30 cm tall, Helanthium Vesuvius forms a lush rosette that resembles a graceful tuft of grass. Its stunning green leaves are gracefully twisted and curled, creating a distinctive and visually dramatic look.
Caring for Helanthium Vesuvius is a rewarding experience, as it adapts well to various lighting conditions. It thrives with a substrate rich in nutrients, and occasional doses of liquid fertilizers encourage its growth. While injecting CO2 can enhance its development, it's not necessary.

Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
