Description

Echinodorus horemanii is an attractive Amazon sword-type aquatic plant known for its long, elegant leaves. It makes a bold, natural centrepiece in larger freshwater aquariums, creating a lush, tropical look while giving fish and other aquatic life plenty of shelter.

This plant is supplied as tissue culture, grown in sterile laboratory conditions. Tissue culture plants are typically free from pest snails, pests and pest algae, and come without rock wool, so they’re easy to rinse and prepare for planting. Once established, it grows into an impressive feature plant with plenty of space for its leaves to spread.

Key Features

  • Amazon Sword-Type: Long, elegant leaves for a bold, tropical look
  • Feature Plant: Ideal centrepiece for the midground or background
  • Tissue Culture: Lab-grown and typically pest and snail free
  • No Rock Wool: Easy to rinse and prepare
  • CO₂ Not Essential: Grows well without CO₂ injection
  • Shelter: Gives fish and shrimp places to hide

How to Use

  1. Remove the plant from the cup and gently rinse away all the growing gel under lukewarm water.
  2. Separate it into smaller portions if you like, or plant it as one clump.
  3. Plant the roots into nutrient-rich substrate, keeping the base of the crown just above the substrate surface.
  4. Add root tabs near the plant and allow plenty of space for mature leaves to spread.

Please note: Sword plants are heavy root feeders and do best with regular root fertiliser. Never release aquarium plants into waterways or drains.
