ECHINODORUS OZELOT XXL – Large, Mature Aquarium Plant with Spotted Leaves for Stunning Aquascapes
Echinodorus 'Ozelot' XXL is the most impressive version of this iconic hybrid plant, highly appreciated for its strength, adaptability, and decorative impact. Carefully grown over several months under tropical greenhouse conditions, this XXL plant is delivered fully developed, with lush and sturdy foliage. It is perfect for instant placement in large aquariums, offering immediate volume and the appearance of a mature, vibrant underwater landscape.
A cross between Echinodorus schluteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus 'Barthii', the 'Ozelot' is known for its elliptical leaves, which range in color from deep olive green to reddish-brown depending on lighting and nutrient levels. Its most distinctive feature is the rich red-spotted pattern that remains visible even under moderate lighting. Ideal as a solitary midground plant, it provides a striking focal point and enhances the layout’s overall structure.
Echinodorus 'Ozelot' XXL is easy to maintain, making it suitable even for beginners. It grows best with strong lighting and consistent nutrient supply but also tolerates suboptimal conditions. It has a moderate growth rate and propagates via adventitious plantlets on the flower stalk. Although CO₂ enhances coloration and vitality, it is not essential for its survival. Its adaptability makes it an excellent choice for both Dutch and natural-style aquascapes.
