Echinodorus × barthii
Echinodorus × barthii is a vibrant and robust sword plant known for its striking red to deep burgundy foliage, making it a standout centerpiece in medium to large aquariums. A hybrid cultivar from the popular Echinodorus genus, this plant combines size and color to create a dramatic visual anchor in planted tanks.
Young leaves often emerge reddish or purple, then mature into a darker green hue with red undertones, especially under strong lighting and nutrient-rich conditions. This plant grows tall and wide, so it’s best suited for the background or center of the aquascape. While it tolerates a variety of conditions, CO₂ and rich substrate enhance color and size.
It’s ideal for aquarists looking to add a bold, natural look with minimal care complexity.
