Echinodorus

Echinodorus , also known as sword plants, are among the most impressive specimen plants in aquariums. They are characterized by robust leaves, an impressive growth habit, and a wide variety of varieties – from lush green to reddish-patterned. They are particularly effective in the background or as an eye-catcher in the center of the tank .

Many Echinodorus species are easy to care for and require only moderate light conditions. They grow reliably in both traditional community aquariums and natural aquariums, contributing to ecosystem stability. Some varieties even produce emergent flowers when allowed to grow above water.

With varieties such as Echinodorus bleheri , Echinodorus ocelot or Echinodorus rubin you will find the right sword plant for almost every aquarium layout – whether simple or spectacular.

Benefits of Echinodorus:

• Large leaves & strong presence in the aquarium

• Ideal as a solitary plant in the background

• Also suitable for beginners

• Wide selection of colors and leaf patterns

• Promotes biological balance in the pool

💡 Tip: Echinodorus thrive in nutrient-rich soil or root fertilizers. With a little care, they can grow into real eye-catchers.
