Echinodorus cordifolius 'Fluitans' is a relatively fast-growing Echinodorus from Mexico with wavy, light green leaves 20–50 cm long and a rosette 15–30 cm wide.

It suits large aquariums; easy and undemanding, a good beginner's plant according to Tropica. On Tropica's difficulty scale it is an easy plant (Easy).

According to Tropica, after two months in the aquarium the plant is on average 20–30 cm tall or more. The plant has a medium growth rate. Light demand is low. CO2 demand is low. The plant comes from North America.

Unlike other round-leaved forms it is less likely to grow above the surface – when it gets large it forms big leaves just under the surface instead.

The plant is sold in a pot.
