Echinodorus 'Reni' (Emersed)
Echinodorus 'Reni' is a compact and colourful sword plant known for its rich red to bronze foliage and smaller growth habit compared to larger Amazon swords. Its vibrant colours and manageable size make it an excellent centrepiece or midground plant for planted aquariums, aquascapes, and community tanks.
As a hardy and adaptable sword plant, Echinodorus 'Reni' is suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers. This emersed-grown specimen develops strong root systems and transitions well into aquarium conditions with proper care.
At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.

Emersed vs Submersed — Which Grown Form Should You Choose?
Submersed plants are grown fully underwater and are already adapted to aquarium life, so they settle into a planted tank with minimal melt — the best pick for aquascapes and established aquariums.
Emersed plants are nursery-grown above the waterline, ideal for terrariums, paludariums and wabi-kusa. Submerged in an aquarium they typically melt back and regrow as submersed foliage — more so in low-tech tanks without added CO2 — but recover well with good lighting and nutrients.
