Rare – Echinodorus Rose
Echinodorus Rose is a beautiful and relatively rare sword plant, prized for its attractive rose-pink to reddish new leaves and elegant rosette growth. As the plant matures, the leaves can develop a mix of green, pink and red tones, creating a striking centrepiece in a planted aquarium.
It is a great choice for midground to background planting, particularly in medium to large aquariums. Echinodorus Rose is generally easy to care for once established and benefits from nutrient-rich substrate and regular access to nutrients through its roots.
