Overview

The Echinodorus ‘Hot Pepper’ is a visually stunning hybrid, a cultivar bred from Echinodorus ‘Red Flame’ and Echinodorus ‘Kleiner Baer’. It is cherished for its narrow, striking red leaves that are beautifully contrasted by lighter green longitudinal veins and a slightly undulated margin. This rosette-forming plant typically reaches a moderate height, making it suitable for foreground and midground placement in aquariums of various sizes, where it can grow up to 40 cm tall. Its emersed leaves can display orange tones, adding to its unique appeal.

Care Level

Echinodorus ‘Hot Pepper’ is considered an easy-care plant, thriving with consistent conditions. It is relatively hardy and undemanding, making it a good choice for beginners. However, to maintain its vibrant red coloration, it benefits from adequate nutrition and moderate to high lighting.

Tank Essentials

This plant prefers a temperature range of 15-30°C (59-86°F) and a pH of 5-7. While it can adapt to various water hardness levels, providing a nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs will greatly enhance its growth and coloration.

Diet

As a heavy root feeder, Echinodorus ‘Hot Pepper’ benefits from nutrient-rich substrate or regular root tab fertilization. Supplementation with iron can also help promote its vibrant red colouration.
