New leaves can emerge bright red to ruby-colored before gradually developing deeper bronze, burgundy, or green tones as they mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAppearance: This plant forms a compact rosette of broad, elongated leaves. Depending on lighting and nutrition, the foliage can display a beautiful mixture of red, burgundy, bronze, and dark green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAquarium Use: Excellent as a colorful centerpiece in the midground of larger aquariums or as a background accent in smaller tanks. Its compact growth makes it easier to incorporate into aquascapes than many larger sword plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePropagation: Mature plants can produce flower stalks with daughter plantlets. Once these plantlets develop several leaves and healthy roots, they can be separated and replanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNote: Red Diamond Sword is a heavy root feeder. A nutrient-rich substrate or regular root tabs will help produce stronger growth and deeper coloration. Removing older outer leaves allows the colorful new growth in the center of the rosette to stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mastah Betta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54076292890924,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8947\/4092\/files\/ChatGPTImageSep15_2026_11_17_42PM.png?v=1789550294","url":"https:\/\/mastahbetta.com\/products\/red-diamond-sword","provider":"Mastah Betta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
