Common Name: Fancy Twist Sword, Echinodorus Fancy Twist
Echinodorus Fancy Twist is a popular type of Amazon Sword that has leaves ranging from bright green to blood red. 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.

"Healthy"
"Superbly packaged, healthy looking plants - great selection"
"Plants showed up in great shape, fast shipping, good communication"
"The plants came very healthy and I was surprised to see the size of the plants in the cup. I had enough for a couple of tanks! Definitely will be buying from Buce again"
"Gorgeous and great job packing"
"Looking forward to when these emerge out of the 10g shallow they're in. There were 5 in the container and so far they're establishing nicely"
"Nice size. Arrived in good condition. However, It's been 2 weeks do show any grow. Probably taking time to adjust"
"Plants arrived in pretty rough shape and ultimately didn't survive. Leaves looked big and healthy"
"Ok, I’ve bought culture cups in the past. First I’ll start with the roots, I can’t say I saw one root hair that wasn’t pristine. The leaves were also the same quality. I noticed with this type of sword also has translucent red/purple leaves. I received 3 massive sized baby plants somehow crammed in one cup. Can’t wait to see it grow up!"
"Really perfect. The quality is definitely there. I was worried with the bad weather and shipping delays, but I didn’t need to be. Next time I may only get one, I forgot that each culture contains multiple plants. I had to spread the love to other tanks😊"
