Echinodorus grandiflorus ssp. aureus is characterized by the fact that new leaves are yellowish and older leaves golden. Under water it forms large, heart-shaped leaves.

Echinodorus grandiflorus is perfectly suited for large open aquariums where it willingly grows out of the water. It tolerates the relatively dry air but if the light sources are very warm it helps the plant if we spray the leaves with water occasionally. These plants can be transplanted into the aquarium when roots have formed. It prefers a nutrient rich substrate and is well suited for indoor ponds because it tolerates quite low temperatures.
