Echinodorus cordifolius 'Marble Queen' is a number one choice for the place of honor in the aquarium. The color composition of the leaves is very special and goes from deep green over green to yellowish to produce a marbled leaf surface. However, the marbled look is usually lost at low light conditions and is therefore suitable for small open aquariums which in general receives enough light.

Much like Echinodorus cordifolius the growth is fast but Echinodorus cordifolius 'Marble Queen' tends to stay in the aquatic environment much longer before it sets emergent leaves. The plant benefits very much from a nutrient rich substrate and from CO2 enrichment of the water.
