Red Melon Sword

Red Melon Sword (Echinodorus ‘Red Melon’) is a striking rosette aquarium plant with broad, reddish-green leaves that often develop a deep red hue under strong lighting. The leaves are smooth and slightly elongated, giving the plant a bold, sculptural appearance.

It thrives in a nutrient-rich substrate with moderate to high lighting. This plant makes an excellent centerpiece or midground feature in freshwater aquariums, adding vibrant color and contrast to green plants. Once established, it is hardy and relatively easy to maintain.
