ECHINODORUS 'ROSÉ' XL – XL-Sized Mother Plant with Pink Leaves and Red-Brown Spots, Hardy and Beginner-Friendly
Echinodorus 'Rosé' XL is a visually striking ornamental plant, available as a fully developed mother plant in a 9 cm square pot. This hybrid, created in 1986 by Hans Barth in Dessau from a cross between Echinodorus horemanii 'Red' and Echinodorus horizontalis, is highly regarded for its delicate beauty and ease of care in freshwater aquariums.
It grows to a height of 25–40 cm with a rosette 15–25 cm wide, making it ideal for midground or background placement in larger tanks. Its submerged leaves emerge with a soft pink hue and are initially adorned with subtle red-brown spots, giving the plant a refined and distinctive appearance. As the leaves mature, they maintain an elegant tone that contributes to a harmonious aquascape.
The XL format provides immediate decorative impact and full visual maturity, minimizing setup time and enhancing layout balance from the beginning. Echinodorus 'Rosé' XL is easy to grow and thrives in nutrient-rich substrate. While CO₂ supplementation and liquid fertilization promote stronger color and growth, they are not essential, making this plant ideal even for simpler setups.
This plant suits a wide variety of aquascaping styles, from natural and Dutch layouts to South American biotopes. With its slow, orderly growth, it remains manageable and visually attractive over time, even for beginners.
