Introduce a spectacular clash of color and pattern to your tank with the Red Ozelot Sword (Echinodorus Ozelot). A hybrid cross between Echinodorus schlueteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus barthii, this exceptionally eye-catching plant is famous for its long, elliptical leaves covered in deep dark red and black leopard-like spots. The newest leaves emerge in a brilliant, fiery red color, gradually transitioning to a rich olive green while keeping their distinct dark spots. Very hardy and adaptable to various water parameters, the Ozelot Sword is one of the easiest colored sword plants to grow, thriving even in low-tech aquariums. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Distinct Leopard Spotting: The unique dark red and black marbled spots remain visible on both the new red leaves and the older green foliage.
Vibrant Color Play: Freshly grown leaves emerge in a glowing reddish-pink, creating a beautiful color transition directly in the center of the rosette.
Highly Adaptable Hybrid: Far less demanding than other red sword varieties, easily maintaining its striking colors under standard low-to-medium aquarium lighting.
Specifications:
Form: Loose Bare-Root
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Low to Medium
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Push the extensive root system directly into your substrate, keeping the crown (where the leaf stems meet the roots) visible above the surface to prevent rot. Like all sword plants, the Red Ozelot is a heavy root-feeder. Place nutrient-rich root fertilizer tabs nearby in the substrate every few months to encourage rapid growth and maximize its gorgeous red pigmentation.
What’s included: 1 x Loose bare-root plant of Echinodorus Ozelot
