The aptly named Red Flame Sword is the best way to instantly spice up your planted tank! These eye-catching green leaves become covered vibrant red mottling under the right growing conditions. With bright light and the right fertilizer, this plant will easily become the focal point of any aquarium.
All species of Echinodorus are heavy root feeders, and therefore require a nutrient rich substrate that is often supplemented with root tabs in order to support their growth. They develop expansive root systems as well, so deep substrate is a must, at least two or more inches.
