Echinodorus Kleiner Bar Vitro Culture

Echinodorus 'Kleiner Bar' in Vitro Culture® – Vibrant Sword Plant for Mid to Background Aquascaping

Echinodorus 'Kleiner Bar' is a striking aquarium sword plant hybrid known for its broad, wavy leaves that develop deep reddish-brown to burgundy hues under optimal lighting. A cross between Echinodorus barthii and Echinodorus uruguayensis, this plant combines the best traits of both—compact form, vivid color, and strong adaptability—making it a favorite for Dutch-style aquascapes and centerpiece plantings in mid to background areas.

Now available in Vitro Culture®, our 4-inch sterile bag contains 3 to 4 small, lab-grown plantlets, cultivated using Tissue Culture Technology. Each plant is grown in vitamin-enriched gel or liquid, ensuring a pest-free, algae-free, and pesticide-free start—perfect for sensitive ecosystems, shrimp tanks, and high-end aquascapes.
