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.

Echinodorus rose, also known as the red Amazon sword plant, is a popular aquatic plant that is commonly found in aquariums. This plant is native to South America, where it grows in the shallow waters of rivers and streams. It is a highly adaptable plant that can thrive in a range of water conditions, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

The Echinodorus rose is a beautiful plant that adds a vibrant splash of color to any aquarium. Its leaves are long and narrow, with a deep red hue that contrasts beautifully against the green of other plants in the tank. This plant can grow up to 50cm tall, making it a great option for larger aquariums where it can provide a stunning focal point.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Echinodorus rose also provides a number of benefits for aquarium inhabitants. The plant produces oxygen, which is essential for the health and well-being of fish and other aquatic creatures. It also helps to remove excess nutrients from the water but perhaps it's most attractive appeal is the new shoots that grow are a beautiful shade of pink.

When caring for Echinodorus rose, it is important to ensure that the plant has access to adequate lighting and nutrients. This plant thrives in a substrate that is rich in iron and other micronutrients, so it is important to use a high-quality fertilizer like Neutro T and Neutro CO2 to keep it healthy and vibrant. Additionally, this plant requires regular pruning to prevent it from becoming overgrown and crowding out other plants in the aquarium.

Overall, Echinodorus rose is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a beautiful and beneficial plant to their aquarium. With proper care, this plant can provide years of enjoyment and aesthetic appeal to any aquatic environment.

Note: the picture is an example of the plant and not necessarily reflective of the size that you will receive. As we are not the growers, we do not control the size. If you'd like to know the current size of this plant in stock, shoot us an email.

Product details

1. Go large

Xl Plants are the biggest plants available to hobbyists and sometimes extremely impressive, especially in the summer time. Pots are typically 9cm+ but the range is fairly limited so if you see one you like, best to go for it.

Why is the range limited in the winter?

Plants grow much slower due to the weather and the cost to heat gigantic greenhouses. As a result, in the cooler months plants are typically 30-40% smaller than they are in the warmer months.

2. Planting up

Due to their size, they're best positioned towards the back of your aquarium. Of course, some of them will be better tied onto wood or rock (like Anubias). It is possible to leave these plants in their pots if you prefer, but we always recommend that where possible, you take them out of their pots and rockwool, and plant them in a nutrient rich soil. Bear in mind the plants may have extensive root structure but this can be trimmed prior to planting.

3. Feeding

How much food do they need?

Due to their size, larger plants need much more food than the 5cm potted plants so this has to be considered when planting.

What fertilisers should I offer?

We always recommend using both a nutrient rich fertiliser and a liquid carbon for all plants. Use Neutro T as a liquid fertiliser and Neutro CO2 for your carbon. Both are available in big bottles and if you are injecting pressurised CO2, sway the Neutro T for Neutro+.

Are root tabs needed?

If you want to get the best from your plants, so they stay strong, grow faster and produce better colours then yes. Use TerraTabs for best results. Insert 3 under each XL plant every 4 months.
