Synonym: Elodea densa

Homeland: Argentina and the piracy states

Usually this plant is kept in warm water aquaria with an average temperature of about 24 ° C, which it tolerates poorly, because it needs more cool water. Of all kinds of Elodie, this one is best tolerated by temperatures up to 20 ° C. This plant needs water of medium hardness and very, very much light for successful growth. It also grows in a more miserable light, but it becomes a miserable sight: thin stems, barely covered with leaves. As for pH, the plant shows tolerance here, for example, at 7.5 - 8.
