Introducing Echinodorus 'Big Bear,' a captivating and enduring red-leaved variety that has captivated aquarists since its commercial availability in 1995. Renowned for its popularity, this plant forms a compact rosette, showcasing a stunning array of hues ranging from rusty red to deep, velvety crimson. With maturity, it can reach a height of up to 50 cm (approximately 20 inches), adding a striking presence to any aquarium.

A fascinating aspect of Echinodorus 'Big Bear' lies in its distinct leaf characteristics between its emersed and submersed growth forms. When nurtured in a greenhouse or above water, the plant flourishes with robust green foliage. However, when submerged in an aquarium, its leaves undergo an enchanting metamorphosis, transitioning to vibrant shades of red within just a few days. This transformation never ceases to astound and inspire aquarium enthusiasts.

To ensure the well-being of Echinodorus 'Big Bear' in an aquatic environment, proper care and attention are vital. Adequate lighting, nutrient supplementation, and a suitable substrate all play integral roles in supporting its healthy growth and enhancing the intensity of its mesmerizing colors.
