Echinodorus argentinensis

Echinodorus argentinensis is a large, robust sword plant with broad, upright leaves that can grow tall enough to dominate a big tank. A heavy root feeder, it rewards root tabs and a nutritious substrate with lush, paddle-shaped foliage. Reserve it for the background of larger aquariums where it has space to reach its full, imposing size.
