Description
This well-growing swordplant cultivar has leaves with red-brown spots, as well as Echinodorus 'Ozelot', but differs by light to middle green basic colour, causing an especially contrasting pattern. Otherwise it is similar to the normal 'Ozelot': the submerged leaves are narrowly elliptic with wavy edge; the leaf rosette gets about 40-50 cm tall and 40 cm broad.
Also this Echinodorus is an easy aqurium plant, however it benefits much from bottom fertilization (e.g. by nutrition capsules) and medium to strong lighting.
The Green Ozelot swordplant looks best as a solitary plant or small, loose group in the midground to background of bigger, at least 50 cm high aquariums.
Characteristics
Echinodorus 'Ozelot Green', as it is called in the trade, is a colour form of the hybrid Echinodorus 'Ozelot' bred by Hans Barth in Dessau; growth habit and leaf shape match the original cultivar, only the colour differs.124 On the bright light to medium green blades with their wavy margin, the brownish to reddish brown spotting stands out particularly clearly; under intense, red-rich light, young leaves may turn slightly reddish.1234
The plant is regarded as uncomplicated and copes with very different conditions; nutrients in the substrate and additional fertilisation promote its growth. ()

Wächst super
Eine sehr schnelle Lieferung, kam gut verpackt an.
Nach dem einpflanzen gedeiht sie ohne Probleme es sind schon einige Blätter nach gewachsen.
I've been an aquarist for over 30 years. And I'm still into sword plants. Compared to stem plants they offer a few advantages: - no constant fiddling around - large plant mass...

Meine Lieblingspflanze - Vorsicht wird größer als angegeben
Ich bin Aquarianer seit über 30 Jahren. Und noch immer steh ich auf Schwertpflanzen.
Gegenüber Stängelpflanzen bieten sie einige Vorteile:
- keine ständige Rumgärtnerei
- große Pflanzenmasse
- durchwurzeln den Bodengrund
- recht unkompliziert
Diese hier ist meine absolute Lieblingspflanze. Das leuchtende Grün mit der Maserung ist ein schöner Kontrast zu Fischen und anderen Pflanzen. Ich finde diese grüne Variante sehr viel schöner als die rote.
Die Pflanze bildet ziemlich schnell große Blätter aus. Ein 50cm hohes AQ ist gerade noch so ausreichend, wenn die Pflanze zentral mit genügend Abstand zu anderen Pflanzen steht. Anubias fühlen sich in ihrem Schatten sehr wohl und der Kontrast ist recht hübsch.
Noch einmal der Hinweis: bitte bedenkt vor dem Einpflanzen die Größe der Pflanze auch in der Breite.
Plant came in excellent condition and looks pretty as a picture. :) Hoped that it would have been littlebit bigger, but no harm done.
