ECHINODORUS DSCHUNGELSTAR NO. 2 'SMALL BEAR' – Compact Red-Leaved Aquarium Plant for Aquascaping
Echinodorus Dschungelstar No. 2 'Small Bear' is a striking hybrid cultivar known for its vibrant red submerged foliage and compact rosette form. Introduced in 1995, it remains one of the most popular red-leaved varieties for freshwater aquariums. While emersed greenhouse-grown plants have lush green leaves, they quickly transition to deep red hues after just a few days underwater. Reaching up to 25 cm in height, this moderately growing plant is ideal for the midground, offering a vivid contrast in aquascapes and drawing attention with its bold colors and elegant shape.
