Amazon Sword (Florida Aquatic Nurseries)

Echinodorus bleheri, commonly known as the Amazon Sword, is from South America. It is an undemanding and beautiful plant, and becomes 20-50 cm tall.

A nutritious substrate promotes growth, but the plant needs pruning to prevent it depriving plants underneath of light. Echinodorus bleheri does well even in poorly illuminated aquariums, as it grows towards the light.
It is a hardy and easy solitary plant for both beginners and the more experienced with quite large aquariums. Definitely a background or centrepiece plant for your aquascape.
