Echinodorus Parviflorus, also known as the Rosette Sword or Dwarf Amazon Sword, is a compact and visually appealing aquatic plant that adds lush greenery to any freshwater aquarium. Its broad, lance-shaped leaves form a dense rosette, making it ideal for midground or background placement. The vibrant green foliage creates a natural aesthetic while providing shelter and hiding spots for fish and invertebrates.
Reaching a height of approximately 10 inches (25 cm), this plant is perfect for aquascapers who want a smaller alternative to larger sword plants. Echinodorus Parviflorus thrives in nutrient-rich substrates and moderate to high lighting. While it does not require CO₂ supplementation, adding CO₂ and fertilizers enhances its growth and coloration.
This hardy plant is suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. It propagates through runners, allowing new plantlets to grow adjacent to the parent plant. These can be separated and replanted to expand its presence in the aquarium.
