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 rubra is a beautiful and neat aquatic plant originating from South America. A mid-sized plant really that's easy to grow. Leaves start off a pinky colour and then mature into solid green. Stays small at 30cm providing there's enough light so great for smaller aquariums.
Please note in the wintertime, some leaves take on a dark purple curled appearance. This is down to the Metal Halide lighting used but once the plant is underwater, the leaves soften back up and look normal. In the summer you won't see that type of leaf growth.
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.
