Echinodorus Hadi Red Pearl

Echinodorus 'Hadi Red Pearl' is a stunning and relatively rare sword plant cultivar, prized for its broad leaves that emerge in rich, deep red tones adorned with attractive darker spotting and mottling — the pearl-like markings giving it a uniquely ornate appearance that sets it apart from other red swords. As leaves mature they transition to a warm olive-green while retaining some of their characteristic spotting, ensuring the plant always has visual interest at every stage of growth. A beautiful and rewarding collector's sword that makes a striking centrepiece in any planted aquascape.

Propagation: Produces adventitious plantlets on flower stems. Allow plantlets to develop 2–3 leaves and roots before separating from the mother plant.
