Echinodorus Red Flame is similar to other Echinodorus variations in its easiness to keep. This variation will provide you with 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 a nutrient rich soil with additional fertilization (our preference is the Brightwell line of soil which can be found by clicking here). 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 plants ability to grow but is not necessary.
