Echinodorus Horizontalis

Echinodorus Horizontalis is a popular Amazon Sword in the planted tank hobby. Boasting rich green tones, this large aquarium plant is well suited for the background area of an aquascape to provide color and additional greenery. Like other Echinodorus species, E. Horizontalis is capable of growing in both submerged and emersed conditions as long as sufficient humidity is available to prevent the plant from drying out. Echinodorus Horizontalis's adaptability makes it a great choice for beginner hobbyists and the plant works particularly well for Wabi Kusa setups as a statement plant. Nutrient-dense soil and moderate lighting should be provided as a minimum to support a healthy root system.
