Care Tips: Echinodorus horemanii Red is a striking sword plant with red-tinged leaves that deepen in color under high light conditions. It thrives in medium to high lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate. The red coloration becomes more vibrant with adequate light and nutrients, making it a great choice for adding contrast in planted tanks. While it doesn’t require CO₂ supplementation, adding it can improve growth and coloration. This plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and stable conditions. Echinodorus horemanii Red is a medium-sized plant with a moderate growth rate, making it well-suited for midground to background placement. It’s ideal for aquascapes needing a pop of color or a plant with a striking appearance to contrast with green foliage. Regular trimming of older leaves helps maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth from the crown.
