Common Name: Horizontal Mini
Echinodorus species are very common in the aquarium hobby, being that they are beautiful and easy to care for. They offer excellent and attractive coverage to the background of an aquascape. They can get pretty large, making them a great fit for a large tank. Their large leaves can easily restrict light to other plants if they are not pruned regularly. These plants propagate through side shoots off of their leaves, which can be trimmed and replanted into the substrate. To control the size of your Amazon sword plant you can remove the side shoots and older leaves.
Be sure to keep these Echinodorus in nutrient rich substrate as they are heavy root feeders. They will also tolerate most lighting conditions, but moderate to high lighting is ideal.
CO2 injection is not necessary but will help the plant grow faster if desired.
