Red melon sword is an easy plant with a striking appearance. As per its common name, this plant will produce vibrant red and green foliage. It does well as a background plant in aquascaping and can serve as a centerpiece in smaller aquariums due to its eye-catching appearance. Its big, rounded leaves provide a nice, shady place for fish to take shelter.

We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge

We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.

Plant Transition

Most aquatic plants are grown out of water at the farms. At our warehouse, we start the plant's transition so they can begin growing underwater leaves for you. As you can see the rounded leaves are grown out of water while the more slender leaves are grown under water. This is a normal process, and it's your choice to cut off the fading, older leaves or leave them.

Heavy Root Feeder

Sword plants are heavy root feeders and often need 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.
