Common Name: Amazon Sword
Mother Pots consist of multiple, mature plant species. Each pot may include 2-4+ individual plants. Final number of individual plants may vary depending on genus and species.Amazon sword plants 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. These plants have short stems that grow in a rosette, bearing long and ovoid leaves with a pointed tip. Their leaves are dark or bright green in color with prominent veins and slightly wavy shape.
Amazon sword plants can get pretty huge, 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.
With a nutrient rich substrate these plants will 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. Amazon sword plants will grow submersed or emersed. Emersed plants produce lovely white flowers.

"Plants look great and had minimal melting after being planted. Did end up with some hitchhikers but overall great experience."
"I got these about a month ago and they came in great condition. They are a beautiful shade of green and perfect for my tank. They were healthy and thriving but about a week ago started getting tiny holes all over the leaves. I only have shrimp so there’s a chance the shrimp are eating them but after some research I think there’s a potassium deficiency. I’m currently used Seachem Flourish so hopefully that helps but if anyone has any other tips that would be helpful."
