ECHINODORUS DSCHUNGELSTAR NO. 2 'SMALL BEAR' XL – Red-Leaved Aquarium Plant in XL Format for Immediate Impact
Echinodorus Dschungelstar No. 2 'Small Bear' XL offers an impressive visual boost right from the start. This extra-large format plant is significantly bigger than standard 5 cm pot specimens, making it perfect for new aquascapes where lush vegetation is desired immediately. 'Small Bear' is one of the smallest cultivars of this popular South American genus, yet it features intense reddish-brown leaves and forms a compact rosette that grows up to 25 cm tall. Ideal for midground placement in larger tanks or as a background feature in nano aquariums up to 60 cm in length.

This plant thrives under medium to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation (20–30 mg/l) to maintain vibrant red coloration. Perfect for creating contrast in the layout, it works well with green-leaved plants and helps add depth and structure. In smaller tanks, it can serve as a stunning focal background plant.
