Description
'Reni' is a well-known Echinodorus cultivar characterised by being amongst the smallest of the red Echinodorus. It was bred by Tomas Kaliebe by crossing of the cultivars 'Großer Bär' and 'Ozelot'. The leaf rosette gets 15-40 cm tall and 15-25 cm wide. The new leaves of the plant are reddish-brown to deep beetroot in colour.
It can be used in small aquariums and is unpretentious. The plant requires a lot of light and nourishment for optimal colour development.
Characteristics
Echinodorus 'Reni' was bred by Tomas Kaliebe by crossbreeding E. 'Grosser Baer' and E. 'Ozelot', and it was brought onto the market in 2003.
In submersed cultivation, this variety has widely elliptic dark red leaves with slightly lighter-coloured veins. It tends to stay quite small for a long time, with its leaves growing only 10 cm in length and 6 cm in width, which makes it a good foreground plant. However, after some time it will start growing out, forming up to 25 cm long leaves 8 cm in width and 10 cm long leaf stalks.
E. 'Reni' needs lots of light and nutrients.

Perfect as always.

Alles Super
Perfekt wie immer.
I find the liquid in-vitro variant better, but the plant sometimes slips there and then grows upside down. Either way, by far the most beautiful variant

die mit Abstand schönste Variante
Ich finde die flüssig in vitro Variante besser, allerdings verrutscht die Pflanze da manchmal und wächst dann falsch rum. So oder so die mit Abstand schönste Variante
Great plant growth, young and strong plant with rich color. Simply great.
