Uruguayan Sword Plant: Graceful Green for Your Aquascape

Introduce stunning natural beauty to your aquarium with the adaptable Uruguayan Sword. Its elegant, ribbon-like leaves create a lush, vibrant backdrop for your aquatic inhabitants.

Overview

The Uruguayan Sword Plant (*Echinodorus uruguayensis*) features long, flowing, ribbon-like leaves that vary from vibrant green to reddish-brown, adding dynamic texture to your setup. Growing from a central rosette, its robust and flexible foliage creates a striking focal point, providing natural shelter and an engaging environment for your fish. It is a visually appealing and hardy addition to any larger planted aquarium.

Care Level

This plant is considered easy to moderate in care, suitable for aquarists of all skill levels. It is generally compatible with peaceful community fish, offering shelter for smaller species. While robust, some herbivorous fish may occasionally nibble its leaves. It thrives with stable water conditions and moderate to high lighting.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 80 litres is recommended, though larger tanks (160+ litres) are ideal for its mature size. Optimal water parameters include a pH range of 6.0–7.8 and temperatures between 18–26°C. A nutrient-rich substrate is crucial for healthy growth, as this plant is a heavy root feeder.

Diet

As a heavy root feeder, the Uruguayan Sword Plant primarily absorbs nutrients from the substrate. Supplement with root tabs every 2-3 months and consider liquid fertilizers, especially those rich in iron and micronutrients, for optimal health and vibrant coloration.
