Echinodorus 'Yellow Sun'

Introduction:

Echinodorus 'Yellow Sun' is a striking and vibrant sword plant variety, prized for its bright yellow-green foliage. This eye-catching aquatic plant is an excellent choice for adding contrast and color variation to planted aquariums. Like other Echinodorus species, it is hardy and relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. With proper lighting and nutrients, its leaves develop a stunning golden hue, making it a standout feature in any aquascape.

Care Requirements:

• Water Parameters: Thrives in temperatures between 22–28°C, with an optimal pH of 6.0–7.5 and water hardness of 3–12 dGH.
• Nutrient Requirements: Prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from root tabs or fertilizers. CO₂ supplementation is not required but enhances growth and coloration.
• Tank Setup: Best placed in the midground or background of an aquarium due to its moderate size. Requires moderate to high lighting to maintain its bright yellow coloration.

Care Tips:

To maintain its vibrant yellow hue, provide consistent lighting and nutrient-rich conditions. Removing older leaves helps promote new growth, and occasional trimming prevents excessive shading of smaller plants.

Echinodorus 'Yellow Sun' is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a pop of color to their tanks. Its striking golden-green leaves make it a focal point in aquascapes while maintaining ease of care.
