Echinodorus osiris is in Living Soil's Aquarium and fully submerged plants group. Plants growing entirely underwater in a tank: a thin layer of soil under a gravel cap, which is a different job from a pond basket. Its guide gathers what published references say about water hardness, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, planting bed, feeding, spotting problems, mixes, where the sources differ and temperatures, book by book, with 4 mixes that suit it.
