Care Tips: Echinodorus 'Red Diamond' is known for its striking reddish to dark green leaves, often displaying a vibrant, diamond-like sheen. It thrives in medium to high lighting, with CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization helping to bring out its best coloration and promoting healthy growth. This plant grows at a moderate rate, so regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and prevent overgrowth. A nutrient-rich substrate supports its root system. It is best positioned in the midground to background of aquascapes, where its rich color and unique leaf shape can create visual contrast and interest.
