Description

Tropica 1-2-Grow! Echinodorus 'Reni'

Echinodorus 'Reni' is a compact sword plant hybrid that adds a stunning pop of red to midground layouts. It’s one of the smallest red Echinodorus varieties available, making it an excellent choice for aquascapers who want vibrant colour without the size of traditional sword plants. The Tropica 1-2-Grow! tissue culture ensures a clean, pest-free start with healthy roots ready to establish.

✓ Compact red sword plant for aquascaping colour and contrast

  • Hardy and adaptable: Tolerates a range of water parameters and lighting conditions.
  • Tissue culture grown: Free from pests, snails, and algae — safe for shrimp tanks.
