Echinodorus Red Diamond

Echinodorus 'Red Diamond' appeared as a culture in the Ukraine, and is probably a cross between Echinodorus horemanni 'Red' and Echinodorus ‘Barthii’. The resultant hybrid is an attractive plant with ruby-red sword-shaped leaves, 15-25 cm long. Unlike many of the other Echinodorus-species, Echinodorus 'Red Diamond' remains moderate in size (20-30 cm wide roset), so it is extremely well suited as a solitary plant, even in small aquariums. Increasing the nutrients in the substrate results in more abundant growth, while favourable light conditions promote the formation of the ruby-red leaves.

Olivia ★★★★★

The leaves have a deep red hue that really pops against the green in my planted tank. Rooted within a week and shows new growth each morning, which is exactly what I wanted.

Kevin N. ★★★★★

The leaf coloration on this hybrid is stunning—it has deep red tones even without high light. I placed it near the center of my tank and it’s already putting out new growth with visible veins.

Charlotte U. ★★★★★

Planted it in the midground three weeks ago and the new leaves are already emerging with a rich burgundy color that stands out against my green plants. The hybrid seems to adapt quickly to regular tap water and moderate light, making it easier to grow than I expected.
