Amazon Sword (Echinodorus bleheri) — Potted

The classic background plant. A single Amazon sword fills the back corner of a tank with broad green blades and, given root tabs and a nutrient substrate, will outgrow a 20-gallon in a season.

Care: easy. Low to moderate light. A root feeder — feed at the roots rather than the water column. Plant with the crown sitting above the substrate, not buried.

Shipped potted in rock wool. Sold as one plant.
