Echinodorus 'Reni'

Echinodorus 'Reni' is a compact and vibrant sword plant, popular in aquascaping for its stunning red to deep bronze leaves, which contrast beautifully with green foliage in aquariums. This plant remains smaller than many other Echinodorus varieties, making it suitable for midground placement or as a focal point in smaller tanks. Echinodorus 'Reni' thrives in moderate to high lighting, which helps intensify its red coloration, though it can adapt to lower light conditions with less vibrant hues. While CO2 supplementation is not strictly necessary, it significantly enhances the plant's growth rate, coloration, and overall health. A nutrient-rich substrate is essential to support its heavy root-feeding nature, and regular dosing of iron and micronutrients will further boost its vibrant appearance. Easy to care for and highly adaptable, Echinodorus 'Reni' is an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a striking and manageable sword plant to enhance their aquascape.
