Echinodorus Red Devil is a delightful ruby red coloured aquarium plant with leaves which aresword shaped. The interesting aspect to this plant is the size which is grows to which is smaller than most Echinodorus - only 15-25cm on average.
Like all Echindorus, they like feeding through their roots so make sure there's sufficient nutrition or use root tabs to supplement (that way you get the best colours). Brighter light is more suited to this aquarium plant in order to retain the deep red.
Here's a few tips about this plant that are worth mentioning.
1. Lots of colour
Red plants are popular in the hobby because they break up the sea of green that we see so much of. Use red plants in groups to create focal points and consider positioning them around wood or rock for a stylish look.
2. Red plants need more light
Red plants get their colour from light intensity. The reason they arrive with lovely colours is because they're grown in greenhouses that have access to lots of natural light. This means they grow fast, and colourful. If you don't have lots of light (and these plants really like pink light), colour can be less along with speed of growth.
3. Don't forget to trim
Most red plants are stems and this means they generally grow quite fast. It's important to trim stem plants regularly and don't be concerned when trimming 50% each time. This allows the plant to retain their colours and stay bushy. If you let them grow too big, they'll drop their lower leaves and concentrate on their top section (resembling a forest canopy) which you don't want.
