Echinodorus "Red Flame" (Red Flame Sword) - Bunched
Make a bold, colorful statement in your aquarium with the Red Flame Sword (Echinodorus "Red Flame"). This stunning hybrid cultivar is famous for its vibrant, lance-shaped leaves that showcase a brilliant copper-red base heavily patterned with dense, dark burgundy spots. As the leaves mature, they shift to a rich olive green while maintaining their striking, "flamed" mottled coloration. Naturally hardy and easy to care for, the Red Flame Sword is a fantastic option for adding intense, dramatic color and texture to the midground or background of your aquascape. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Intense "Flamed" Variegation: Highly concentrated dark red and burgundy spots cover the leaves, giving the plant its fiery, dramatic appearance.
Eye-Catching Color Accent: New leaves emerge in vibrant shades of coppery red, creating a stunning contrast against standard green aquarium plants.
Resilient & Robust: Adapts easily to a wide range of water conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners wanting a splash of red.
Specifications:
Form: Bunched
Growth Rate: Moderate
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Medium to High (Stronger light intensifies the red color and spot patterns)
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Remove the lead weight or band holding the bunch together. Gently separate the plants and bury the roots directly into your substrate. Make sure the central crown (where the leaf stems meet the roots) remains entirely above the substrate to prevent rot. Like all sword plants, the Red Flame Sword is a heavy root-feeder; burying iron-rich root fertilizer tabs nearby in the substrate every few months will significantly boost its growth and intensify its deep red pigmentation.
What’s included: 1 x Bunched portion of Echinodorus "Red Flame"
