Echinodorus bleheri
Origin: South America
Echinodorus bleheri is the quintessential Amazon Sword plant, bearing broad, lance-shaped bright green leaves on long petioles that can grow impressively large in nutrient-rich conditions. A dramatic background or centerpiece specimen in medium to large aquariums, it is one of the most recognizable and widely kept aquarium plants worldwide. Highly adaptable and reliably easy for beginners. Supplied in a Tropica pot with an established, healthy plant.
Plant in deep, nutrient-rich substrate or supplement with root tabs. No CO2 or high lighting required. The plant can grow very large — plan space accordingly. Feed with iron-rich liquid fertilizer monthly for large, vibrant leaves. Propagates via adventitious plantlets on flower stalks that can be detached and replanted. Trim yellowing or damaged leaves from the base.
