Tanman19az Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ooo that didn't ship well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's fine and it was packed very well. Not only that I could have split it into two plant's out of the box. Last time I checked no one can control the weather and even if it got here dead Han would make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanman19az Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 It looks to me that the leaves on the right are melted so they'll eventually melt all the way but the other leaves look fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 It looks to me that the leaves on the right are melted so they'll eventually melt all the way but the other leaves look fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It has two leaf spikes shooting out, the plant propagates by adventurous plantlets when a leaf die's it shoots out a leaf spike or the rhizome can shoot out a dormant plantlet can happen naturally or if the plant gets damaged could trigger new growth.

Tanman19az Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yea I know how swords propagate but this is a baby plant and it doesn't lose such large leaves naturally like that but good luck with your new sword. They look very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Super cool plant. I've read that it is big root feeder similar to ERIOS. Anyone can confirm? Also, anyone every plant this and let it establish and decide to uproot and move it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The root system gets massive a lot of people keep them potted so they can move them around easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The large leave where from growth in a hi-tech t-5 co2 system when the plant was propagated. The new small growth is when it was moved to a shrimp tank , the two large leaves will probably melt away I'll still be left with 4 leaves and two spikes. If and when it dose drop the large leaves I should see new growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I am trying to get a system up with t5, co2 ,deep pots and iron tabs for propagating Echinodorus sp. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Echinodorus opacus verde is so beautiful. I think it's held my attention since seeing it the first time over on The Planted Tank by the 35shrimp guy who posted. The green colors and the vining it has is so gorgeous but the price tag and crazy root growth always held me back from buying.
