Care Tips: Echinodorus Red Wild Grass is a striking sword plant variety featuring narrow, blade-like leaves with shades of red, bronze, and green. It thrives in medium to high lighting, which helps bring out its red tones. A nutrient-rich substrate is essential for healthy growth, and root tabs or liquid fertilizers will support its nutrient demands. CO₂ injection enhances growth rate and coloration but is not strictly necessary. This plant has a moderate growth rate and forms elegant, grass-like clusters that add natural texture to the midground or background of aquascapes. Regular pruning of older or damaged leaves helps maintain its vibrant look. It adapts well to a wide range of water parameters, but slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5) is ideal. Echinodorus Red Wild Grass is perfect for adding a splash of color and graceful movement to planted tanks.
