Echinodorus horemanii "Red" is one of the most beautiful Echinodorus available to a hobbyist today with deep red colouration it's easy on the eye. As the leaves mature they turn a green colour with red edges.

The plant can eventually grow quite big, and it makes it suitable for the background or as a solitary centrepiece. The plant grows slowly and needs extra iron nutrients (use Neutro X), like many other Echinodorus species. Because it is a slow grower, it is suitable for low maintenance aquariums.
