Amazon Sword (Echinodorus Amazonicus)

Description

For the most beautiful Amazon Sword Plants, a loose substrate and an iron-rich fertilizer must be used. It requires at least 2 watts per gallon of full-spectrum lighting (5000-7000K). Propagation is by adventitious plants on the covered peduncles. Best cultivated in large aquariums; Amazon Sword Plants make a great focal point if used singly. When used in groups, they create an interesting background when grown with other aquarium plants.
