    The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

    Echinodorus rose is a lovely aquarium plant that originates from South America. It has pretty oval leaves and sleek, thin stems that make it a perfect addition to any aquarium. When planted in a rich substrate, this plant will grow and thrive easily. It's a great option for a mid to background plant, and its leaves start off with a pinkish color and then turn green as they mature.

    This plant is easy to care for and will add a touch of beauty to any aquarium. So if you're looking for a new aquatic plant to add to your collection, consider the Echinodorus rose.

    Here's a few tips about this plant that are worth mentioning.

    1. Lots of colour

    Red plants are popular in the hobby because they break up the sea of green that we see so much of. Use red plants in groups to create focal points and consider positioning them around wood or rock for a stylish look.

    2. Red plants need more light

    Red plants get their colour from light intensity. The reason they arrive with lovely colours is because they're grown in greenhouses that have access to lots of natural light. This means they grow fast, and colourful. If you don't have lots of light (and these plants really like pink light), colour can be less along with speed of growth.

    3. Don't forget to trim

    Most red plants are stems and this means they generally grow quite fast. It's important to trim stem plants regularly and don't be concerned when trimming 50% each time. This allows the plant to retain their colours and stay bushy. If you let them grow too big, they'll drop their lower leaves and concentrate on their top section (resembling a forest canopy) which you don't want.

    I recently bought a number of plants from this store and they all arrived quickly and in great condition. I would highly recommend buying from the store and will do myself in the future.

    not the first time I have bought your plants on sale. I have now realised why they are on sale--they have outgrown their pots,and are too big to plant into the tank sub strate

    This a beautiful plant, new growth is pinkish red. I have two in different areas and there are subtle differences to leaf formation and colour, one a much more deeper red than the other. My nerite snails do a great job in keeping the leaves looking good

    This plant arrived in top condition but it appears to be a bit slower growing compared to other Echinos. In 10 days it has only produced 1 new leaf whilst others have produced 2 -3. It could be that it requires a bit more light as it is overshadowed by a taller plant

    A really lovely plant. Graceful and pleasing to the eye when agitated by water. In many better than an Amazon sword.

    Excellent quality, survived when a couple of different plants died so must be quite hardy. Very happy.

    Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

    Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...
