Overview:
Echinodorus ‘Reni’ is a striking sword plant cultivar admired for its vibrant reddish-pink leaves that add bold colour and contrast to freshwater planted aquariums. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.
With adequate lighting and nutrients, ‘Reni’ develops intense coloration that stands out beautifully against green plants and darker substrates. Its upright rosette growth makes it an excellent focal plant for midground or background placement in aquascapes.
Care and Growth:
This plant prefers moderate to high lighting and benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate, as it is a heavy root feeder. While CO₂ injection is not essential, supplementation can improve growth rate and colour intensity. Regular root tabs and liquid fertilisation are recommended for best results.
Echinodorus ‘Reni’ grows at a moderate pace once established. Propagation occurs via adventitious plantlets that form on flower stalks, which can be separated and replanted when sufficiently developed.
