🌿 Echinodorus Ozelot Green (Echinodorus 'Ozelot Green')
Green Leaves with Leopard-Like Spots • Lush Rosette Sword Plant • A Patterned Centrepiece
📋 Echinodorus Ozelot Green is a sword plant with a wild side. Its broad, fresh-green leaves are dotted with dark, leopard-like spots, giving it a pattern that stands out instantly among plain green plants. It grows as a lush, full rosette from a central crown, so a single plant makes a bold centrepiece in the midground or background of nature layouts, community tanks and larger 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 large, bushy specimen with only the odd old leaf to trim away. Good lighting brings out its spotted pattern at its boldest, especially on the fresh new leaves.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
