OZELOT SWORD MOTHER POT

Echinodorus 'Ozelot'

Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is an excellent sword plant hybrid that displays red colored new leaves with spots in them similar to an ocelot.  Older leaves turn green but still retain some spotting.  This hybrid is a cross between hybrid between Echinodorus schluteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus ‘Barthii’. The ocelot sword plant is great for midground or background areas of the aquarium.  Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is one of the easier varieties of sword plants to grow and is great for beginners.
