Echinodorus / Amazon Sword

Echinodorus

3 cultivars

Echinodorus, widely known as Amazon Sword plants, is a highly popular genus of tropical aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. They form robust basal rosettes of broad lance-shaped to oval leaves, creating a striking fountain-like structure in freshwater aquariums, paludariums, and indoor water gardens. Depending on the species or cultivar, foliage color ranges from bright green to vibrant ruby-red, deep olive, or bronze. Because of their impressive size, moderate growth rate, and bold texture, Amazon Swords are frequently utilized as dramatic, focal-point centerpiece plants in naturalistic planted tanks and aquatic displays.
