Care Tips: Echinodorus Ozelot Green is a robust and decorative sword plant with lush green leaves accented by distinctive dark spotting, similar to its red counterpart. It is well-suited for medium to large aquariums and makes an excellent midground or background plant. Ozelot Green thrives in nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from iron-rich fertilizers to maintain its vivid patterns. While not CO₂-dependent, supplemental CO₂ will boost growth and coloration. It does well under medium to high lighting and prefers stable water parameters with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Regular pruning of older leaves encourages fresh, healthy growth. This cultivar adds a vibrant, jungle-like touch to planted tanks and pairs well with red or bronze plants for contrast.
