ECHINODORUS 'ROSÉ' – Large Mother Plant in 9 cm Pot with Elegant Pink Foliage, Ideal for Beginners
Echinodorus 'Rosé' is a stunning aquarium plant, created by crossing Echinodorus horemanii 'Red' with Echinodorus horizontalis. First developed in 1986 by Hans Barth in Dessau, it quickly gained popularity for its soft coloration and easy cultivation. Supplied as a mature mother plant in a sturdy 9 cm square pot, it is well-developed and ready for immediate aquarium placement.
This plant grows to a height of 25–40 cm, with a rosette width of 15–25 cm, making it ideal for the midground or background of the aquarium. Submerged leaves emerge in a delicate pink hue with reddish-brown spots, offering a refined and ornamental appearance. As the leaves mature, they soften in tone but retain their decorative appeal, making it a graceful addition to any aquascape.
Echinodorus 'Rosé' is undemanding and particularly well-suited for beginners. While CO₂ and liquid fertilization can enhance its development, it grows well in moderately technical setups as long as it is planted in a nutrient-rich substrate. It has a tidy, moderate growth rate, requiring minimal pruning and offering consistent, long-lasting beauty.
Ideal for natural-style layouts, Amazonian biotopes, or Dutch aquascapes, Echinodorus 'Rosé' adds depth and soft color contrast and pairs beautifully with green or red fine-leaved plants. Its mother plant form provides instant visual impact, reducing the time needed for initial growth and integration.
