About the species

Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is a decorative hybrid between Echinodorus schluteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus 'Barthii'. 20-50 cm high and a 20-40 cm wide rosette. Of course, it is the elliptical black spots on the reddish-brown leaves that have given this plant the name 'Ocelot'.

The spots are darkest on the youngest leaves, and unlike many other spotted Echinodorus, 'Ozelot' retains its spots even at low light intensity. It is an undemanding and good plant for beginners.

How do I keep Echinodorus 'Ozelot' looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.
