About this product
The Amazon sword is the background plant that made planted tanks popular. Given a nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs, it grows broad green leaves into a dramatic bush that hides equipment and gives fish a sense of security.
It is a rooted feeder, so it pulls nutrients from the substrate rather than the water column, making it a great structural anchor in a community or grow-out tank. Ships potted in rockwool — remove before planting.
