Description

Echinodorus 'Red Diamond' was bred in the Ukraine and is probably a cross between Echinodorus horemanni 'Red' and Echinodorus x barthii. The resultant hybrid is an attractive, relatively small plant with ruby-red sword-shaped leaves, 15-25 cm long.

Unlike many other sword plants, Echinodorus 'Red Diamond' remains moderate in size (20-30 cm wide rosette), 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.

Genau wie auf dem Produktbild

Habe eine sehr schöne kräftige viele Pflanze bekommen die schon kurze Zeit nach dem einpflanzen die ersten schönen submersen Blätter bekommen hat. Mit entsprechender Düngung über das Substrat wird sie Blatt für Blatt immer schöner und ähnelt immer mehr dem 2. Produktbild
