🌿 Echinodorus Chocolate Marble (Echinodorus 'Chocolate Marble')

Green Leaves Marbled with Rich Chocolate-Brown • Bold Rosette Sword Plant • A Patterned Centrepiece

 

📋 Echinodorus Chocolate Marble is a sword plant with a truly unique look. Its broad leaves are heavily marbled and splashed with rich chocolate-brown patches over green, and the fresh new leaves unfurl in warm reddish-brown tones, so every plant carries its own one-of-a-kind pattern. It grows as a full, structured rosette from a central crown, making a striking centrepiece in the midground or background of nature layouts, community tanks and display aquariums.

It's a hardy, easy-going sword. Plant it in a nutrient-rich substrate, add root tabs, and it grows steadily into a bold, eye-catching specimen with only the odd old leaf to trim away. Good lighting keeps its marbling at its richest, especially on the new leaves.

It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
