Ideal for mid to large freshwater tanks, it requires moderate lighting and watering, providing natural shelter for fish and invertebrates while enhancing the tank’s aesthetic with dynamic foliage. Easy to propagate and maintain, it’s a perfect choice for professionals seeking a low-effort yet visually impactful aquatic addition. ## Description Requiring little attention while providing tons of color and texture to the home aquarium, the Red Flame is a great sword plant for beginners. Hardy and undemanding, its wide tall leaves add swaying movement and a lush backdrop to planted community tanks. Echinodorus Red Flame is a hybrid between Echinodorus schlueteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus barthii. Red Flame is very similar in appearance to The Ozelot Sword, but with larger swatches of red running along its leaves compared to the leopard-like spots of the Ozelot. The Red Flame is a relatively easy plant to maintain, but grows rather large in the aquarium. Use this plant as a background in the smaller aquarium, and as a mid-ground focal point in the larger aquarium. Do not allow the leaves of this plant to shade neighboring plants. It requires a moderate level of light of 2 to 3 watts per gallon provided by full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. Reproduction within this species is by adventitious plants, side shoots, and rhizome division. Simply allow the plant to reproduce by one of the above methods, and when the new plant forms its own leaves, separate and replant in another location of the aquarium. The Red Flame is sensitive to copper, so this type of medication should not be added to the aquarium where it is contained.

Perhaps you can compare the specs. I use the Diana Walstad planted tank method. My lights sre on from 7 am to 12 noon and 5 pm to 9 pm. It is thriving under these conditions, also with a small amount of floating duckweed. **Q: Mine are turning brown ..what do i do?** A: It might be lack of light. Send me a message, preferably with a picture and details on your light set up so I can get a better idea of what is going on. **Q: Do you guarantee no snail hitchhikers?** A: I had recently received 2 of these plants in perfect health and zero hitchhikers. I had rinsed them off prior to adding them to my tank just to get the potted stuff off the roots. Very happy with my purchase ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy and beautiful plants *by C***D on June 15, 2025* The plants were absolutely wonderful. Healthy with great roots.Arrived on time and were well packaged. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very healthy plants!! *by P***I on March 21, 2025* My plants arrives fast and look great!! Very healthy and ready for pond!! Thank you. I buy each year!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Showed up well packaged and alive. *by J***E on September 13, 2022* The red is a little brown, but I think it will perk up later. It's a young plant. It arrived well packaged and alive. It's been hot and we're in fire season here in the northwest, so getting live aquatic plants is tricky. Unfortunately my local pet stores didn't have the one's I was after. This seller has been great and I will continue to buy from them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20237631-potted-red-flame-sword-beginner-tropical-live-aquarium-plant](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20237631-potted-red-flame-sword-beginner-tropical-live-aquarium-plant) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
