Echinodorus Rose & Oriental

[sunil baboo <alpi101 at yahoo_com>]

Re.: Echinodorus Rose & Oriental

I have a very good  growth of both of these plants,
however, they do not have their Red and Pink colors
respectively.

Is there anything I am missing.  I do change about 60%
water every week, and add KNO3 about half teaspoon
after each water change, and about 1 teaspoon MGSO4. 
Also I add trace elements once a week.


Await your suggestion.
