Description
Echinodorus aquartica is a versatile, adaptable Echinodorus cultivar producing medium-sized, lance-shaped green leaves with a clean, uncluttered appearance. It is less dramatically coloured than the red and spotted sword cultivars, but reliable and easy to keep — a practical choice for midground to background planting that works in most aquarium setups without specific requirements.
Medium light, no CO2 required, planted in substrate with root tabs near the roots. Growth is steady. Well suited to both low-tech and more advanced planted setups.
Plant in the midground to background substrate. Propagation via daughter plants on flower stems.

Shipping
Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm, Monday to Friday. Tracked 24 Service from £4.99, DPD Express from £6.99.
Does it need CO2?
No — grows reliably without CO2. Root tabs placed near the roots support the best growth.
What makes aquartica a good choice?
Its adaptability — it grows well in a wide range of conditions without requiring specific parameters. A practical, low-maintenance midground sword.
How large does it get?
Moderate — 20–35cm in most conditions. Good for midground to background positioning.
How do I fertilise it?
Root tabs near the roots. Echinodorus are heavy root feeders — substrate nutrition matters more than liquid fertiliser.
How do I propagate it?
Daughter plants on flower stems — detach once they have 3–4 leaves and visible roots, then replant.
