ECHINODORUS 'RENI' – Compact Red Aquarium Plant with Intense Foliage and Neat Growth
Echinodorus 'Reni' is one of the most compact and visually striking red cultivars in the Echinodorus genus, known for its vibrant foliage and manageable size. It grows to a height of 15–40 cm with a rosette up to 25 cm wide, making it ideal for small and medium-sized aquariums. The new leaves display rich hues ranging from reddish-brown to deep beet red, offering strong visual contrast against green aquatic plants.
Thanks to its neat and compact growth habit, Echinodorus 'Reni' is perfect for midground placement or even background use in smaller tanks. It is easy to care for, though optimal coloration and vitality require strong lighting, a nutrient-rich substrate, and regular liquid fertilization. While CO₂ is not essential, its addition enhances both growth and color intensity, making the plant even more vibrant.
It is suitable for beginners, as long as it receives adequate light and nutrients. With its compact form and rich colors, Echinodorus 'Reni' is ideal for Dutch-style layouts, South American biotopes, or natural aquascapes where a bold splash of color is desired without taking up too much space. Propagation is easy through side plantlets that develop in well-balanced tanks.
