Echinodorus 'Rose' is a beautiful hybrid sword plant known for its striking pink, bronze, and reddish new growth. As the plant matures, newer leaves emerge with vibrant coloration before gradually transitioning to deeper green and bronze tones, creating a constantly changing display within the aquarium.
Its broad leaves and rosette growth habit make it an excellent centerpiece plant for medium and large aquariums. The tissue culture version provides a clean, pest-free, algae-free start, making it ideal for planted aquariums and shrimp tanks.
