ECHINODORUS 'RENI' – Compact Red Aquarium Plant, Perfect for Small to Medium Layouts
Echinodorus 'Reni' is one of the most compact and admired red cultivars in aquascaping, ideal for adding intense color contrast to small or medium aquariums. Growing to a height of 15–40 cm with a rosette 15–25 cm wide, it's suitable for midground or background use in nano tanks or complex aquascapes. The new leaves range in color from reddish-brown to deep beet red, offering a dynamic and decorative focal point.
While easy to care for and undemanding, Echinodorus 'Reni' thrives with strong lighting and rich nutrition. A fertile substrate, regular liquid fertilization, and CO₂ supplementation will help enhance its coloration and compact growth. Its tidy form and bold color make it perfect for Dutch-style aquascapes, natural layouts, or Amazonian biotopes, acting as a smooth transition between finer-leaved plants and taller species.
The Tropica 1-2-Grow! version is lab-grown under sterile conditions and delivered in a culture cup, free from snails, algae, and pesticides. This ensures maximum safety for shrimp and sensitive fish, making it ideal for delicate setups or densely stocked community tanks.
