🌿 Red Flame Sword (Echinodorus 'Red Flame')

Broad Leaves Speckled with Fiery Red • Bold Rosette Sword Plant • A Statement Centrepiece

 

📋 Red Flame Sword is one of the most eye-catching sword plants you can grow. Its broad leaves are splashed and speckled with fiery red markings over green, creating a marbled, flame-like pattern that draws the eye instantly. It grows as a full, structured rosette from a central crown, so a single plant makes a bold centrepiece, and its markings grow more impressive as the plant matures. It looks stunning beside fine-leaved green plants in nature layouts and display tanks.

It's a hardy, easy-going sword. Plant it in a nutrient-rich substrate, add root tabs, and it grows steadily into a striking specimen with only the odd old leaf to trim away. Good lighting and steady nutrients keep its red markings at their boldest.

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