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.
I planted this little guy in my 10gal with some Java moss and a few ferns. It has grown two beautiful baby leaves since it's planting just 2 weeks ago, and is loving my UV lamp! Super high quality and healthy plant!

Great sword
I purchased 2 red melon swords because they look different than a regular sword plant. They showed up in great shape and look very nice in my aquarium. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
