Echinodorus paniculatus is a striking, medium-to-large sword plant native to South America, valued for its long, lance-shaped leaves and robust, upright rosette growth. Its bright green foliage adds height and texture, making it an excellent choice for mid-ground to background placement in nature-style and biotope aquariums. The plant’s elegant, arching leaves create movement and a natural aesthetic, enhancing the visual depth of any planted tank.
This hardy species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and moderate lighting. While CO₂ supplementation is optional, it encourages faster growth, fuller leaves, and a more vibrant appearance. Echinodorus paniculatus propagates through runners, producing new plantlets that gradually expand to form dense clusters. Its adaptability and low-maintenance nature make it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers looking for a robust, eye-catching sword plant.
