Common Name: Echinodorus Red Diamond
Echinodorus Red Diamond is a hybrid sword plant originating from Ukraine. This particular sword seems to be a combination of both Echinodorus Horemanii Red and Echinodorus Barthii. When placed in optimal conditions, E. Red Diamond produces bold, bright colors in the aquarium. Unlike other aquarium sword plants, Echinodorus Red Diamond is a medium-sized species and is suitable for moderately sized aquariums as well as in single plant displays.
When using inert substrates such as sand or gravel, it is important to supplement the plants with root tabs as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders. Nutritious aquarium soil is preferable along with medium to high lighting to help promote brightly colored growth. Like other aquarium swords, Echinodorus Red Diamond can be grown emersed and is great for pond-style planted tanks and Wabi Kusa!

"Buce never disappoints, I've been getting plants from them for years now. I received 4 healthy plantlets (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡"
"Packaging was great. Very good quality. Will be purchasing from this company from now on."
"Looks great so far and came with healthy roots."
"Started growing red leaves soon after being planted"
"Arrived in great shape with 4 decent sized plantlets. Can’t wait to see these grow out."
"First time I've had a lower quality plant from buce. Roots were already dead on arrival and mushy. The leaves looked decent but they melted and died instantly in the tank. It could of been a packaging issue, and a shipping issue because when I opened the tissue cup the gell was everywhere/plants all messed up and moved around. It sucks but oh well, can't get everything perfect. Other plants I ordered were good quality."
"Seemed a bit sparse but otherwise in good shape. I buy most of my aquarium plants from your business"
"I figured I would get one plant but I got four!! They are doing great in my holding tank until I have everything in place for my new 150g set up. Beautiful leaves already and so far no melt in my high energy set up"
"High quality tissue culture. Arrived well packaged with no melt. Had enough roots to get it into the substrate without my cories digging it up."
"Great quality, fast order & looks good."
