Description
Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ is a handsome sword-plant hybrid whose new leaves emerge in warm red to reddish-brown before maturing, set on a bold upright rosette. As a centrepiece, Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ brings height and a splash of colour to the mid-ground or background of medium to large aquariums.
Like other swords, Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ is a heavy root feeder, so plant it in nutrient-rich substrate and tuck root tabs beneath the rosette. It grows at a moderate pace under moderate to high light; CO₂ is optional but encourages fuller, more colourful growth. Propagate Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ from the adventitious plantlets it sends out on flower stalks.
Robust and striking, Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ suits beginners wanting an easy centrepiece and experienced aquascapers after a colourful rosette. It is safe for shrimp, betta and community tanks, and the broad leaves of Echinodorus ‘Joyo Red’ give fish shade and a natural, planted feel.
