Echinodorus Oriental Pink is a beautiful Amazon sword variety prized for its soft pink, rose and bronze new growth. As the leaves mature, they gradually transition to light green while often retaining warm pink undertones, creating a colourful focal point in the aquarium.
This medium-to-large rosette plant is ideal for midground or background placement in medium and larger aquariums. As a heavy root feeder, it performs best in a nutrient-rich substrate or with regular root-tab fertilization. Moderate to strong lighting will encourage more vibrant pink colouration. Supplemental CO₂ is not required but can promote faster, fuller growth.
Remove older outer leaves at the base as needed to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage fresh growth.
