Category: Aquarium Plants

The cultivar Echinodorus ‘Barthii’ is a decorative and beautiful solitary plant for large aquariums. It becomes 25-50 cm tall and the whole rosette 20-30 cm wide. The leaves change colour from dark-red in the youngest leaves to dark-green in the oldest. The colour develops well when the light intensity is high and there are sufficient micro-nutrients in the aquarium. A nutritious bottom and CO2 addition promote growth. This plant takes a lot of light from plants underneath, so it must be pruned occasionally. It used to be sold as "Double Red".

Chloe ★★★★★

Planted this as the centerpiece in my 75-gallon and it immediately gave the tank that lush, mature look. The rosette spread to nearly 25 cm wide within a few weeks, and the color shift on the older leaves from dark green to that rich maroon is stunning. It's a big plant though, so make sure you have

Natalie J. ★★★★★

The leaves shifted from a deep maroon to almost black under my lights, adding serious contrast against the green plants. It rooted quickly and now stands about 30 cm tall, just as the specs said it would.

Edward T. ★★★★★

The color shift on the leaves is stunning—mine went from a deep red-brown to a rich green as it settled in, and at about 30 cm tall it’s become the perfect centerpiece in my 60-gallon tank. It’s a real solitary statement plant, and the rosette spread fills the middle ground without taking over.
