Amazon Sword (Echinodorus Bleheri, Potted)

Echinodorus bleheri is the quintessential Amazon sword — a lush rosette of broad, bright-green leaves that grows into one of the most reliable centerpiece plants in the hobby. A hungry root-feeder, it rewards root tabs and a nutrient-rich substrate with impressive size. Plant it in the background of a larger tank and let it become the anchor of the scape.
