Amazon Swords are one of the oldest-kept plants in the hobby, loved for their ease of care and ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions.
Amazon Swords can grow 20 inches tall or more, making them a great choice of background plant for larger aquariums or centerpiece for small aquariums.
They have long, pointed leaves which are bright green to dark green in color. Angelfish have even been known to use Amazon Sword's large leaves as a surface to lay eggs.
Heavy Root Feeder
Amazon Swords are heavy root feeders. Often needing to start with 2-3 root tabs at planting. We recommend adding root tabs monthly. As the plant gets larger, you should increase the amount of root tabs given each month.
Plant Transition
Most aquatic plants are grown out of water at the farms. We start the transition to underwater grown leaves. As you can see the round leaves are grown out of water and the slender leaves are grown under water. This is a normal process and it's your choice cut off fading round leaves or leave them.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store and start converting all of our plants. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store plants in water. Many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them the under water leave transition head start.
We Include Free of Charge Heat Packs and Liners
All of our plant shipments include our custom made insulating plant liner. This helps keep plants at even temperatures, both hot and cold weather temps. We also have a custom developed algorithm to include heat packs based on your shipping address from ours. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge. Its our job to our plants to your door healthy.
