Echinodorus 'Fancy Twist' is indeed an attractive cultivar of swordplant that has garnered attention from aquatic enthusiasts. Depending on the source, it is said to have been bred in either India or South Africa, showcasing its global popularity.

This captivating plant typically reaches a height of 20 to 40 cm (approximately 8 to 16 inches) and exhibits a slow to moderately fast growth rate. In its underwater form, it displays a broad color range, ranging from light green to blood red, adding a vibrant touch to any aquarium. Its younger leaves often feature a striking red-brown spot pattern, enhancing its visual appeal.

Similar to most Echinodorus varieties, 'Fancy Twist' is typically delivered in its terrestrial (emersed) form, with predominantly green foliage. However, once planted into the aquarium, its submerged leaves take on their true colors, revealing the full beauty of this plant.

In terms of care, Echinodorus 'Fancy Twist' is generally undemanding. However, like other swordplants, it thrives with a nutrient-rich substrate and at least moderate light intensity. Providing good lighting conditions promotes the development of vibrant red tones in the leaves. The recommended temperature range for this plant is between 20 and 30 °C (68 and 86 °F). While the addition of CO2 can enhance its growth, it may not always be necessary.

Due to its moderate height, Echinodorus 'Fancy Twist' is well-suited as a solitary plant or in small, loosely arranged groups in the midground of larger aquariums. In smaller tanks, it is better placed in the background, where it can make a captivating statement.

Bring the captivating charm of Echinodorus 'Fancy Twist' to your aquarium and watch as its colorful submerged leaves create an eye-catching display. With its undemanding nature and vibrant foliage, this aquatic gem is sure to add a touch of elegance to your aquatic landscape.
