The Red Flame Sword is similar to other Echinodorus variations in its easiness to keep. This variation will provide you with a great red color under the correct conditions. If using an inert substrate it is wise to supplement with root tab fertilizers underneath the plant.
This species of plant thrives best using nutrient-rich soil with additional fertilization. If not provided with enough nutrients, it can decrease the ability of this plant to spread. The use of CO2 in the aquarium will increase the plant's ability to grow but is not necessary.

Swords arrived in great condition, even in the Texas summer heat! Great color and thick roots. Thanks Flip team!!
I've never ordered a plant during winter and have it arrive fully alive....until now .I'm blown away
As usual, this sword arrived in perfect condition! I usually order plants from another online store, but the quality I get from Flipaquatics is so much better. It's been a few weeks and I haven't seen any melting, and there are already new leaves growing (despite the fact that I have sand substrate and initially forgot to add root tabs). Very pleased!
Good size health and color. No melt back and adapting well to it's new home.
plant arrived super healthy and larger than expected
