Re: Chain sword leaf form
I have a plant of the small narrow-leaved form that is growing emersed.
Its leaves are only about 1 inch long and widen slightly towards the tip.
At their widest point, the leaves are still only about 2-3 millimeters
wide. Last winter it bloomed with tiny white flowers on an almost
thread-like stem. I am planning to get this plant submersed so it can
multiply. When I have had this variety submersed, I have seen that the
reddish leaves are the newest leaves formed. They start out red and turn
green when they are older, as is seen in a number of other Echinodorus
species.
