Collection: Sword Plants

Sword plants, the Echinodorus family, are classic centrepiece plants for a reason. They form large, leafy rosettes that fill vertical space and bring a bold, established look to bigger aquariums.

Growing Swords

Swords are heavy root feeders. Give them a nutrient-rich substrate and push root tabs in near the base to fuel that big growth. They are hardy and undemanding on light, which makes them a great low-tech centrepiece.

Emersed or Submersed

Emersed-grown swords are common and will melt back their out-of-water leaves before pushing new submersed growth. Submersed-grown settle in faster. Choose your form on each product page.
