Description

Amazon sword plants are very popular in the aquarium hobby, and that they are beautiful, easy to care for plants. They are excellent and attractive background covers for any aquascape.

Amazon sword plants can get pretty large, making them a great fit for bigger aquariums. Their large leaves can easily block light from other plants if they are not pruned on a regular basis. These plants propagate through side shoots off of their leaves, which can be snipped and replanted into the substrate. To control the size of your Amazon sword plant you can remove the side shoots and older, larger leaves.

With a nutrient rich substrate these plants will be able to handle most lighting conditions, but moderate to high lighting is ideal. CO2 injection is not necessary but will help the plant grow faster if desired. Amazon sword plants will grow submersed or emersed. Emersed plants produce lovely white flowers.
