Care Tips: Echinodorus 'Harbich New' is a beautiful hybrid sword plant known for its broad, lance-shaped leaves and striking red to green coloration. It thrives in medium to high lighting and does best with a nutrient-rich substrate. CO₂ injection helps encourage more compact growth and vibrant colors, though it can survive without it in low-tech setups. Regular fertilization with iron-rich liquid fertilizers helps maintain its health and coloration. This plant grows in a rosette form and can be trimmed by removing older leaves as new growth appears. Best placed in midground to background areas where it can show off its attractive foliage. It’s perfect for larger tanks or aquascapes looking for a bold and colorful plant.
