Echinodorus Bleheri (Amazon Sword) - Loose
Create a stunning, vibrant green backdrop in your aquarium with Echinodorus Bleheri, universally known as the Amazon Sword. This highly popular freshwater plant features broad, lance-shaped, bright green leaves that grow in a massive, bushy rosette. An exceptionally hardy and fast-growing species, it is perfect for beginners and experienced aquarists alike who want to quickly fill space and add structural height to their tanks. Due to its large size and dense foliage, it serves as an excellent natural shelter for fish, a perfect spawning site for angelfish and discus, and a strong biological filter that absorbs excess nutrients. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Instant Background Impact: Broad, sprawling leaves quickly grow to fill the midground or background of medium-to-large aquariums.
Perfect Spawning Site: The wide, sturdy leaves provide a preferred surface for egg-laying fish like discus and angelfish.
Extremely Resilient: Thrives in a wide range of water parameters, making it highly forgiving for beginners.
Specifications:
Form: Loose Bare-Root
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Low to Medium
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Trim any dead or damaged outer leaves before planting. Bury the roots directly into a deep substrate, ensuring you keep the crown (where the leaves meet the roots) completely above the gravel or sand to prevent rot. Amazon Swords are heavy root-feeders and develop extensive root systems; burying iron-rich root fertilizer tabs near the base is highly recommended to keep the foliage bright green and prevent yellowing.
What’s included: 1 x Loose bare-root plant of Echinodorus Bleheri
