Amazon Sword
Posted by Jennifer Escobar on
Amazon Sword is a common and popular freshwater aquarium plant. Due to its sturdiness and ability to tolerate a wide range of water conditions, the Amazon Sword has been a favorite among fish keepers.
This plant comes from an extremely diverse biological region of the Amazon River Basin.
An Amazon Sword makes a great background plant. When planted alone, it can be an eye-catching centerpiece plant or it can create a “forest-like” effect when planted together.
Details:
Care: Making sure that it has enough space for growth and has access to good lighting for at least 11-12 hours a day.
Fertilization is not required as the plant gets most of its nutrients from fish food and freshwater
It is normal to see leaves dying off soon after being added to a tank. This is a normal reaction, you can simply trim the dying leaves and the bottom of the stem and allow the new leaves to grow.
