Common Name: Fancy Twist Sword
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.

"Plant arrived very healthy and is a great size for the price!"
"Beautiful and in perfect condition"
"They look good. In my tank but not yet planted. On my previous order the plants looked great and for about 2 months after I planted them they looked sick but now they are healthy and beautiful. 60+ years in the hobby but only the last 5 or so with live plants. Wish I would have started sooner."
"I am a man of little patience when it comes to some things. Planting in a tank already filled with water is up there! I planted these as I do most plants, when my tank is dry. . Placement is so much easier and now that the water is in, it looks beautiful! Buce Plants is my go-to for healthy, robust plants for all of my aquariums."
"Very happy with purchase, received four individual plants per pot"
"healthy as hell."
"Nice plants!"
"These are really great plants, very healthy and no coloring. Plus they ship really fast and they are doing great in our tanks."
"Although I’m still in the process getting my (now three small tanks in a good position) theres my first one a two gallon and another two gallon, then I bought a ten gallon. Its the one I put my last two plant purchases in. They are looking fair, I’m also going to have CO2 in all three tanks as I finally found the best route to go with that, there a lindy welding supply in my area. I bought a 5 lb cylinder, and when I get all the other gear that I didnt have It will be ok."
"Wonderful"
