Has anyone grown echinodorus opacus (sometime called echinodorus sp iguazu) emersed? If so does it change form and do the leaves have to be kept constantly moist or just the soil ?
 
Hum. I found this post:

So at least that answers the change in form question.
 
At the German Forum, 'Flowgrow' there is a dedicated thread in the 'Emersed section' named 'The Year of Echinodorus'

It's already running a few years and 20 pages long by now and all about growing all kinds of Echinodorus sp. emerged, some in greenhouses, others on the windowsill or even outdoors. It contains a lot of knowledge about this sp. pictures and names. I'm not familiar with google translate and how it works today, but maybe worth a shot.

The forum also has an international section for English members...

Here’s my E. x opacus ‘Iguazu 2009’.

It is assumed that the original wild “x opacus” plant is a natural hybrid. And E. grandiflorus/longiscapus is one of its parent in one of Lehtonen’s (?) recearch paper, so it will probably grow as tall as them.
