Amazon swords are one of the oldest-kept plants in the hobby, loved for their ease of care and ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions. They have long, broad leaves with a pointed end that come in bright green to dark green colors. This monster plant can grow 20 inches tall or more, making them a great background plant for larger aquariums or centerpiece for small aquariums. Angelfish are known for using an Amazon sword's large leaves as a surface to lay eggs.

How to Plant Amazon Sword in Aquarium

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to push the roots of the sword deeply into the substrate until they are completely buried. Pull out the plant slightly so that the crown (i.e., the base of the plant where all the leaves come out) is not covered with substrate.
4. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the plant at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the plant to keep it anchored.
5. Make sure to add lots of root tabs if you’re using inert substrate or if your nutrient-rich substrate is depleted.

How to Care for Amazon Sword Plant

— Amazon sword care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 PAR. 
— Why is my new sword plant melting? Sword plants are sometimes known to experience melting when they suddenly move to a new environment. To help the plant recover faster and grow new leaves that are accustomed to your water parameters, leave the roots planted in the ground and make sure to provide nutrient-rich planted tank substrate or Easy Root Tabs
— Why is my Amazon sword turning brown after it was growing so well? Sword plants absorb lots of nutrients from the ground, so it may be a nutrient deficiency. If the larger, outer leaves are yellowing and dying after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
— How to trim Amazon sword: If the sword plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf.
— Note: Bristlenose plecos and other plecos have been known to eat sword plants, so watch out for this if you see holes in the leaves.

How to Propagate Amazon Sword

Sword plants reproduce by sending out a horizontal runner with a little plantlet at the end. The plantlet will sprout its own leaves and roots that grow into the ground. You can cut off the plantlet and re-plant it in a different location.

A little disappointed in this purchase. I pretty sure I was shipped a return item. There’s nicks and scratches on some of the parts. Rarely I right a review. But I expected new! Not used or a returned item!

Perfect for Me
Color: Gold, Size: 15"D x 33.9"W x 35.4"H
Beautiful serving cart! I love mine. I currently use it to display my collection of crystal stemware and glass dishes. It will also be useful in the future for serving food and beverages to my guests. I chose to not use the stemware and wine bottle racks. It’s completely optional. I like the more streamlined and uncluttered appearance for displaying whatever I wish. The color is probably best described as “matte antique gold” and matches many of my antique gold photo frames and brass figurines. My kit arrived with 4 identical rolling wheels rather than 2 regular and 2 locking wheels, which was perfect for me, because I didn’t want the locking wheels anyhow. It was like the kit had already been customized to my preferences. The only “glitch” was that there was a crimp in one of the pieces where it shouldn’t have been, which prevented 2 pieces from sliding together easily. After struggling with it for a bit without success, I got out my flathead screwdriver and a hammer and very gently flattened the crimp out so that the pieces would fit together. The result of my perseverance is amazing! I am super-happy with my purchase.
