Echinodorus 'Reni' – Vitro Culture®

Compact Rosette Sword Plant with Rich Burgundy Tones – Grown in Sterile 4-Inch Bag

Enhance your aquarium with the charming and compact Echinodorus Reni, a celebrated cultivar developed by renowned breeder Tomas Kaliebe. Known affectionately as the Red Reni Sword, this variety is the stunning result of crossbreeding Echinodorus ‘Grosser Baer’ and Echinodorus ‘Ozelot’. This rich lineage gives it its petite form and brilliant coloration, making it a standout choice for aquascapers of all skill levels.

As the plant matures, its new leaves shift from reddish-brown to a deep ruby red, creating a striking contrast against green background plants. The compact nature of Echinodorus Reni makes it perfect for nano tanks, midground highlights, or smaller aquascapes where space and color need to be balanced with elegance.

Cultivated through sterile Vitro Culture®, our 4-inch bag yields approximately 3–4 healthy plantlets, ready to root and thrive in your underwater garden.
