Echinodorus 'Reni' – A Stunning Red Sword Plant for Vibrant Aquascapes

Echinodorus 'Reni' is a beautiful, compact sword plant known for its deep red and green foliage, making it a striking focal point in any planted aquarium. This hardy and easy-to-grow plant is perfect for both beginners and experienced aquascapers, offering a vibrant splash of color while remaining low-maintenance. Its broad leaves transition from intense reddish hues to rich green tones, creating a stunning contrast in both low-tech and high-tech aquariums.

Easy Growth & Care

One of the best features of Echinodorus 'Reni' is its compact growth, which makes it ideal for midground or background placement in aquascapes. Unlike some sword plants that grow excessively large, this variety remains manageable, reaching a height of 8-12 inches (20-30 cm). It thrives in moderate to high lighting, and while CO₂ injection is not required, it enhances the plant’s red coloration and overall growth.

For optimal health and vibrant colors, Echinodorus 'Reni' benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and regular iron supplementation. When grown in favorable conditions, its new leaves emerge with a deep red tone, gradually transitioning to a lush green as they mature.
