Default Echinodorus Aflamé

Hello,

My name is Paulo, and I'm from Portugal.

I bouhgt a couple of months ago an Echinodorus Aflamé.
The plant is responding not bad to the levels in my tank, but not as good as
the others Echinodorus.
My setup is:

volume: 350 lt
co2: pressurized with Dupla Reactor S
light: 2x 125w HQL Osram Super Deluxe
filtration: Eheim 2250 and 35 lt external biological filter (bioballs and
siporax)
ph: 6.86
kh: 7
gh: 11
fe: 0.1
po4: 0.25
nitrite and ammonia: 0
nitrate: 0

The problem with this Echinodorus is that all the new leaves are growing
folded, instead of the usual open leaf.
My other echinodorus (ozelot and ozelot green) are growing beautifully, and
my ozelot green also sent a shoot with 5 new plants and some flowers.

Could you give some feedback on this situation?

TIA

Paulo
