Plant Sizes

The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

our delivery promise to you

If you choose Express Delivery, we will replace any plants that are damaged due to delays. Express Delivery is a fast, trackable, and reliable option with a one hour delivery window. It also ensures that the plants will arrive in the same condition as when they left our facility. If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.



If you order before 4pm we dispatch the same working day (Mon-Fri). Shipping prices start at £4.99 depending on the speed of delivery required.

Echinodorus reni is a unique and highly desirable aquatic plant that is well-suited for use in aquariums. This plant is a member of the Echinodorus family, which includes many different species of red-leaved aquatic plants. One of the most striking features of Echinodorus reni is its small size, which makes it a great choice for use as a midground or foreground plant in tanks of all sizes.

Growing between 10-30cm tall, Echinodorus reni is a hardy and versatile plant that can adapt to a wide range of water conditions. Its leaves are oval-shaped and moderately green in color, which makes it a great addition to any tank. To maintain the vibrant green color of the leaves, it is important to provide Echinodorus reni with the right lighting, water conditions, and fertilization.

It's important to note that this plant may arrive with us quite small and usually have fewer leaves than the picture, but it is still beautiful and will eventually grow to its full potential. Echinodorus reni is a great choice for both experienced and beginner aquarists, as it is relatively easy to care for and can add a unique and attractive touch to any aquarium.

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.

Plant arrived in great condition. Was able to get a few plants out of the one pot. Plant is doing well, few leaves browning but this is to be expected. Great service from Aqua Essentials again.
