Description

Echinodorus martii, commonly known as the Ruffle Sword, is a showstopper of a plant—ideal for aquarists looking to add a dramatic flair to the background of their tank. Its long, wavy-edged leaves ripple gracefully in the water current, offering both beauty and natural shelter for fish.

This large and leafy Sword species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and enjoys moderate lighting. While it benefits from CO₂ and fertilization, it's also quite hardy and beginner-friendly. Over time, it can become a stunning centerpiece in taller tanks or serve as a lush, leafy backdrop.


Care and Planting Directions

Plant Ruffle Sword in a nutrient-rich substrate with plenty of space for its large root system. This plant is a heavy root feeder—root tabs or enriched soil are highly recommended. Trim older leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth. It will appreciate regular fertilization and does even better with CO₂, but it’s not required for healthy growth.

Great looking plant

The plant looks great. Arrived in great condition and is still surviving in the tank. Would definitely order more again.

Big and beautiful

I couldnt believe how big these were. I didnt buy these with any particular idea in mind but boy do they make a phenomenal background! Maybe this was the last of the stock because they were on discount and are now sold out, which means that these plants just grew that big leafy and healthy in storage, which gives me very high confidence about their warehousing. They made the aquarium look way better than I imagined it was going to
