Care Requirements for Echinodorus ‘Reni’ Sword – Potted
- Lighting: Low to medium‑high light. Moderate light is usually enough to maintain good colour and steady growth.
- Substrate: Prefers a nutrient‑rich substrate. In sand or gravel, use root tabs, as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders.
- Fertilisation: Regular root fertiliser is recommended; a quality liquid fertiliser supports overall health and leaf colour.
- CO₂: Not essential, but CO₂ will improve growth and density in high‑energy planted tanks.
- Water parameters: Well suited to typical community and discus conditions – soft to medium‑hard water, slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Planting Tips for Echinodorus ‘Reni’ Sword – Potted
- Gently remove the plant from its pot and carefully peel away the rockwool from the roots.
- Trim any damaged roots and remove any melting or older leaves.
- Plant Echinodorus ‘Reni’ Sword – Potted into the substrate so the crown (growing point) sits just above the substrate, not buried.
- Position it as a midground plant in larger tanks or a background plant in smaller aquariums, leaving room for the rosette to spread.
