Echinodorus angustifolia is a slender, upright sword plant native to South America, known for its narrow, elongated leaves and graceful appearance. Its compact, columnar growth habit makes it ideal for mid-ground to background planting in medium to large aquariums. The bright green, lance-shaped leaves add vertical structure and a natural aesthetic, creating a flowing, textured backdrop in nature-style aquascapes.
This hardy species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and moderate lighting. It spreads slowly through runners, producing new rosettes that maintain a tidy and manageable layout. While CO₂ supplementation is not essential, it can accelerate growth and promote fuller, healthier leaves. Echinodorus angustifolia is versatile, adaptable to a wide range of water conditions, and suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers.
