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, CO₂ 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.
