Dennerle - Echinodorus Red Chamäleon
Introduction:
Somewhat smaller than the variety E. ′Green Chameleon′, the new variety Echinodorus ′Green Chameleon′ stays at a height of around 30 cm. Even in an emersed state, the leaf blades have a red coloring, however the true beauty only becomes fully apparent in the aquarium. Under strong lighting its growth is compact and the central leaves develop a strong deep red color. Nutrient-rich substrate, regular liquid fertilisation and adequate CO2 guarantee strong growth.
Care Requirements
Water Parameters:
• Temperature: 22–28°C
• pH Range: 6.2–7.5
• Hardness: 3–12°dGH
Nutrient Requirements:
Feeds primarily from the water column; a complete liquid fertilizer improves colour and vigor. CO₂ is optional but enhances density and growth in most layouts.
Tank Setup:
Root feeder—plant in the substrate with the crown exposed; avoid burying the crown. Moderate light is usually sufficient; nutrient-rich substrate helps. Benefits from root tabs or nutrient-rich substrate for strong roots.
Care Tips:
Trim older or damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth. Keep parameters consistent and avoid drastic changes.
