Common Name: Big Bear Sword
Echinodorus Big Bear Sword is a rare type of Amazon Sword which green leaves with red markings throughout. Like most swords, they should be planted directly into the substrate. When using inert substrates such as sand or gravel, it is important to supplement the plants with root tabs as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders. The plant can be grown both emersed and submerged and often times, new leaves can grow to the top above the water line. Overall, this plant is easy and undemanding and very suitable for larger tanks.

"Excellent plants arrived in top notch packaging and in good health. They had almost no melt when being introduced to the new environment. Appear to have settled in and provide nice variation in the scape's foliage. Color is a beautiful dark green with red stems and new growth, gorgeous."
"Nice plant"
"Another great plant. Perfect in my new 40 gb."
"I was hoping this was already grown under the water but it wasn't. Also I was hoping after being in the tank for almost a week I would see some color change. The leafs are still mostly yellow with some brown and I don't think it will make it. If I could post a picture of it I would."
"Received more plant keys than expected, I am a very happy customer!"
"Came in super healthy and has grown so much already. And it’s very beginner friendly."
