Sword plants are very popular with aquarium hobbyists. They are capable of reaching approximately 20 inches in height under proper water conditions. Sword plants are amphibious plants that will grow either partially or fully submersed. For best results, a loose substrate and an iron-rich fertilizer should be used. These plants requires at least 2 watts per gallon of full spectrum lighting (5000-7000K). The aquarium temperature should be from 72°-82°F, with an alkalinity of 3 to 8 dKH and a pH of 6.5-7.5. Propagation is by adventitious plants on the covered peduncles. Sword Plants make a great focal point if used singly. When used in groups, they create an interesting background when grown with other aquarium plants. Approximate Shipping Size: Regular: 6″ to 9″
