ECHINODORUS CORDIFOLIUS 'HARBICH RED' – Compact Red-Leaved Cultivar for Freshwater Aquariums
Echinodorus cordifolius 'Harbich Red' is a beautiful cultivar that stands out for its reddish young leaves, which gradually turn green as they mature. Unlike the original E. cordifolius species, this variety is much more compact, making it ideal for the midground area of the aquarium. The emersed leaves are rounded with fine hairs on the blades, while submerged leaves in aquariums are narrower and elongated.
Sturdy and resilient, this plant often produces adventitious plantlets on its flower stalks, which thrive especially well in open-top aquariums. The thick, tough leaves are less prone to damage from herbivorous fish. To achieve the best color and growth, it is recommended to provide strong lighting, a nutrient-rich substrate, and CO₂ supplementation.
Main features:
Compact cultivar ideal for aquarium midground
Reddish new leaves that mature to green

Produces numerous plantlets under good lighting

Why choose Echinodorus cordifolius 'Harbich Red':
