A beautiful, dark-green variety of Echinodorus ‘Ozelot’, 20-50 cm tall and a 20-40 cm wide rosette. The dark spots form a bigger contrast on the light leaves. The leaf margin is fluted. A nutritious bottom promotes growth. It is an easy and highly recommended plant, which thrives in almost all conditions.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you understand how to grow aquatic plants
- Click/tap >>HERE<< to view our easy guide explaining the needs of aquatic plants.
2. Planting Instructions for the Echinodorus ‘Ozelot Green’:
- Firstly, remove the label.
- Secondly, remove the rock wool together with the plant from the net pot
- Thirdly, make sure you also remove the rock wool from the root system, take care not to break or tear the larger roots while doing this.
- Give the plant a quick rinse under tap or dechlorinated water.
- Finally, plant the stems using tweezers into the substrate
3. Transitioning process
- Emersed to submersed growth in your aquarium.
- Provide good water conditions for your plants.
- Dose a respectable aquatic fertilizer for your plants, follow the instructions from the manufacturer.
- Make sure you have the correct lighting spectrum.
- Prune dead leaves and stems constantly.
- A Co2 system is a good addition to your aquarium for the plants to flourish.
- Conduct 20-30% water changed once a week to ensure good water conditions.
- Patience is key for the transition to take place.
In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days, you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium.

*This is a Potted Plant and NOT a Tissue Culture Plant. This plant was grown in a greenhouse and is NOT guaranteed to be snail, algae or pesticide-free. Potted plants are cheaper than Tissue Culture Plants as they are not grown in a sterile laboratory. They generally appear to be bigger than Tissue Culture plants. We recommend Tissue Culture Plant for 100% client satisfaction.
McMerwe Review: Once its roots have settled it grows like you won’t believe. It’s one of the easiest plants with some of the biggest rewards in a low tech tank due to its size. (Tip: make sure the first 1mm of its root is visible after planting in the gravel – the plant will not smother and grow a lot faster). [Rating: 5/5]

Mikhail (verified owner) –
Received and replanted into my betta aquarium. No co2, but this plant is thriving. Highly recommend this plant, the photo does not do it justice – I will definitely be ordering some more.
Shaivar (verified owner) –
The plant died within a week in my 200 liter tank. Would recommend that co2 is added to grow this plant properly.
Alicia Matthews (verified owner) –
The best large leaf plant in my tank, I like how the fish like to hang out on the leaves, even my cory’s use them to sleep and hang out.
I had slight melting happen but could very quickly see new growth and the plant thrive in my tank.

I received the plant in excellent condition and it was very healthy. I have had it for two weeks now and it has almost doubled in size.

This sword and the red version are one of my favourite plants. A couple of root tabs and they grow amazingly.

Very healthy plant. It looks like a fast grower, spotted new growth just after a couple days.

Future buyers note:
(From personal experience) My Tinfoil Barb demolished majority of my test plants, however after a few nibbles he seems to have left this one alone.
