Amazon Sword (Emersed)

Amazon Sword (Emersed)

Amazon Swords are one of the most popular and beginner-friendly aquarium plants, loved for their broad, lush foliage, hardy nature, and impressive growth in planted aquariums. Their vibrant green leaves make them an excellent centrepiece or background plant for community tanks, aquascapes, and natural planted displays.

As a hardy and adaptable sword plant, Amazon Swords thrive in a wide range of aquarium conditions and are suitable for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. This emersed-grown specimen develops strong root systems and transitions well into aquarium conditions with proper care.

At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.
