Description
Red Flame Sword (Echinodorus sp. Red Flame)
Red Flame Sword is an attractive variant of the Sword plant species. With its large, oval, red-dappled leaves growing on sturdy stems, Red Flame Sword lives up to its name. It is guaranteed to provide a strikingly beatufiful focal point in any aquarium.
Care & Maintenance for Red Flame Sword
If grown under ideal conditions and given adequate space, including nutrient rich substrate, good light, and regular dose of iron fertilizer (either through root tabs or liquid fertilizers), Red Flame Sword has a potential to grow up to 12 inches. It can be kept in check by occasional trimming of roots and some of the tallest leaves. Sharp aquascaping scisorrs will make this job a breeze.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 68-82°F
- Tank Placement: Background
Provided with these conditions, Red Flame Sword, like most other Sword plants, is hardy, adaptable, and one of the easiest plants to keep in the aquarium. Red Flame Sword should be planted in the background areas of the aquarium. Many fish, like discus or angelfish, will lay their eggs on the plant's leaves. Under good conditions, Sword plants will readily propagate by producing daughter plants on runners.
Red Flame Sword is also available potted. Other Sword varieties are available, including Amazon Sword, Rose Sword, Ozelot Sword, and many more.

Great addition to the tank
Posted by Anne Simmons on 28 Sep 2022I liked the first Red Flame Swords so much, I bought more for a smaller tank. The color combination provides a nice texture and they are full enough to hide equipment like heaters without being too big. In my small tank they crate a canopy the fish can hide under. Each plant arrived fresh and healthy, without signs of damage. They all transitioned to their tanks without a problem.

Posted by Anne Simmons on 16 Sep 2022The Red Flame Sword showed up looking incredibly healthy, as if it had just been pulled from the tank. It does a great job of hiding tank equipment.
