Discover the exquisite rarity of Echinodorus Iguazu, also known as Iguazu Sword, available at Aquarium Roots. This stunning Amazon sword plant is prized for its hardy nature and beautiful, dense green foliage, making it a standout addition to planted aquariums.
Originating from the lush river systems of South America, particularly the Iguazu region, this slow-growing rosette plant adds an elegant, natural touch to any aquascape.
Echinodorus Iguazu thrives in low to moderate lighting with nutrient-rich substrate, developing a wide root system that anchors it firmly while creating a lush, midground or background display. Its compact yet expansive growth—reaching up to 15 inches or more—provides excellent contrast and depth.
With minimal care required, it's beginner-friendly yet rewarding for enthusiasts; CO2 supplementation can enhance its vibrant development and encourage steady expansion.
