Red Flame Sword
Scientific Name: Echinodorus "Red Flame"
Common Name: Red Flame Sword, Echinodorus schlueteri x E. barthii hybrid
The Red Flame Sword is easy to keep in the botanical method, blackwater, or biotope aquarium. This variation will provide you with a great red color under the correct conditions, ie, full-spectrum aquarium light and root tab fertilization. If using an inert substrate, like plain sand, it is wise to supplement with root tab fertilizers underneath the plant.
This species of plant thrives best using nutrient-rich soils for substrates, but in the botanical method aquarium, aquasoils are notorious for removing 'the tint'. Therefore, we recommend the use of root tabs in the substrate to help ensure the plant stays healthy/ If not provided with enough nutrients, it can decrease the ability of this plant to spread, so we recommend using root tabs with this species.
*Rapid changes in tank parameters can result in the melting of the plant, just like cryptocorynes
