DESCRIPTION

Introduction:

Echinodorus 'Chocolate Marble' is a striking and unique sword plant, prized for its bold coloration and robust growth. This hybrid species features broad, elongated leaves that display a mix of green, brown, and reddish hues, often with a marbled pattern that intensifies under proper lighting. Native to South America, like many Echinodorus varieties, this plant thrives in nutrient-rich environments and serves as a stunning focal point in freshwater aquariums. Its adaptability and resilience make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters: Grows best in temperatures between 22-28°C, with a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and soft to moderately hard water.
  • Nutrient Requirements: Requires a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal root development. Regular supplementation with root tabs and liquid fertilizers, especially those rich in iron, enhances the plant’s signature marbled coloration. CO₂ injection is optional but promotes more vigorous growth.
  • Tank Setup: Ideal for midground to background placement due to its moderate to large size. Prefers fine-grain, nutrient-dense substrates and benefits from moderate to high lighting to maintain vibrant leaf coloration.

Care Tips:

To maintain the plant’s rich marbled coloration, ensure consistent lighting and iron supplementation. Avoid covering the plant’s crown when planting to prevent rot. Echinodorus 'Chocolate Marble' can develop new leaves quickly under optimal conditions, and older leaves should be trimmed periodically to encourage fresh growth. With time, it may produce side shoots or runners, allowing for propagation and expansion in the aquarium.

A visually captivating addition to any planted tank, Echinodorus 'Chocolate Marble' adds depth and contrast with its unique coloration and bold structure. Whether used as a centerpiece or a lush background plant, its beauty and ease of care make it a standout choice for aquascaping.
