Echinodorus grisebachii 'Small' is a naturally compact variant of the classic Amazon Sword, ideal for smaller aquariums or for use in the foreground to midground of larger layouts. It forms lush, rosette-style growth with narrow, bright green leaves and typically stays under 20 cm in height, making it easy to manage in aquascapes where space is limited. This plant is appreciated for its resilience and adaptability, even in low-tech setups.
| Difficulty Level | Easy |
|---|---|
| Lighting | Low to medium |
| CO₂ Requirement | Not required |
| Growth Rate | Slow to moderate |
| Placement | Foreground to midground |
| Propagation | By adventitious plantlets on flower stalks |
Propagation is done by separating plantlets that form along flower stalks. Once roots are visible, simply replant them into the substrate to continue growing.
While this plant thrives in nutrient-rich substrates, it also does well in basic gravel with root tab supplementation. Its smaller size makes it perfect for nano tanks or areas where standard swords would be too large.
