Care Tips: Echinodorus Osiris Rubra is a bold and colorful sword plant prized for its reddish to bronze new leaves that gradually turn green as they mature. This background plant adds a rich, natural contrast to green foliage and works beautifully in large aquariums. It prefers nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from iron supplementation to maintain its vibrant coloration. While not mandatory, COâ‚‚ injection promotes more vigorous and lush growth. Osiris Rubra enjoys medium to high lighting and thrives in soft to slightly hard water with a stable pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Trim outer or aging leaves to encourage fresh development from the crown. Its size and coloring make it a fantastic centerpiece or backdrop in nature-style and Dutch aquascapes.
