Echinodorus grandiflorus

Florida burhead occurs in habitats with abundant sunlight, such as the shallow margins of ponds and lakes. It prefers full sun, though it can tolerate partial sun.

Florida burhead comes from tropical areas where the climate is usually warm and humid. Consequently, it is adapted to high temperatures and moisture. It is sensitive to sudden temperature shifts and prefers a consistent thermal environment, so indoor temperature fluctuations should be avoided. It generally does not tolerate cold and needs warmer conditions to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
