Helanthium Bolivianum is a member of the newly found Helanthium family, recently removed from the Echinodorus family after being thoroughly analyzed. While its new name is Helanthium Bolivianum, most hobbyists still refer to this aquatic plant as its former, Echinodorus Bolivianum. This aquatic plant is characterized by its light green leaves with a slender shape. Just like other rosette species, this particular aquatic plant is beautiful in groups or by itself. Propagation is also fairly simple and can be done by separating via the runners and replanting into a quality aquarium substrate.
