    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 ozelot green is a popular hybrid sword plant with distinctive dark spotting on its olive to mid-green leaves. The spots vary in size and distribution from plant to plant, giving each individual a slightly unique character. The green form has a naturalistic, understated appearance compared to its red counterpart, integrating well in planted layouts that rely on texture and form rather than heavy colour contrast.

    It is an easy and adaptable plant. It grows well in medium light and does not strictly require CO2 injection, though supplementation promotes fuller growth and more pronounced leaf patterning. Like all Echinodorus it is a heavy root feeder and benefits from nutrient-rich substrate or regular root tabs. Tropical water parameters suit it well.

    The XL version supplies a larger, more established specimen with a broader rosette and better-developed root system, giving more visual presence from planting day. Suited to midground and background positions in aquariums from 80 litres upward. Remove from the pot, clean the roots, and plant with the crown at substrate level without burying the growing point.

    Product details

    1. Go large

    Xl Plants are the biggest plants available to hobbyists and sometimes extremely impressive, especially in the summer time. Pots are typically 9cm+ but the range is fairly limited so if you see one you like, best to go for it.

    Why is the range limited in the winter?

    Plants grow much slower due to the weather and the cost to heat gigantic greenhouses. As a result, in the cooler months plants are typically 30-40% smaller than they are in the warmer months.

    2. Planting up

    Due to their size, they're best positioned towards the back of your aquarium. Of course, some of them will be better tied onto wood or rock (like Anubias). It is possible to leave these plants in their pots if you prefer, but we always recommend that where possible, you take them out of their pots and rockwool, and plant them in a nutrient rich soil. Bear in mind the plants may have extensive root structure but this can be trimmed prior to planting.

    3. Feeding

    How much food do they need?

    Due to their size, larger plants need much more food than the 5cm potted plants so this has to be considered when planting.

    What fertilisers should I offer?

    We always recommend using both a nutrient rich fertiliser and a liquid carbon for all plants. Use Neutro T as a liquid fertiliser and Neutro CO2 for your carbon. Both are available in big bottles and if you are injecting pressurised CO2, sway the Neutro T for Neutro+.

    Are root tabs needed?

    If you want to get the best from your plants, so they stay strong, grow faster and produce better colours then yes. Use TerraTabs for best results. Insert 3 under each XL plant every 4 months.
