Its compact, columnar growth habit makes it ideal for mid-ground to background planting in medium to large aquariums. The bright green, lance-shaped leaves add vertical structure and a natural aesthetic, creating a flowing, textured backdrop in nature-style aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1071\" data-start=\"640\"\u003eThis hardy species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and moderate lighting. It spreads slowly through runners, producing new rosettes that maintain a tidy and manageable layout. While CO₂ supplementation is not essential, it can accelerate growth and promote fuller, healthier leaves. Echinodorus angustifolia is versatile, adaptable to a wide range of water conditions, and suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1076\" data-start=\"1073\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1097\" data-start=\"1078\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1097\" data-start=\"1081\"\u003eCare Summary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1274\" data-start=\"1099\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1108\" data-start=\"1099\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette \/ Sword plant\u003cbr data-end=\"1133\" data-start=\"1130\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1153\" data-start=\"1133\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-end=\"1180\" data-start=\"1154\"\u003eEchinodorus angustifolia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1183\" data-start=\"1180\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1199\" data-start=\"1183\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrow-leaf Sword\u003cbr data-end=\"1220\" data-start=\"1217\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1231\" data-start=\"1220\"\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alismataceae\u003cbr data-end=\"1247\" data-start=\"1244\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1258\" data-start=\"1247\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e South America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1450\" data-start=\"1276\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1289\" data-start=\"1276\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-ground to Background\u003cbr data-end=\"1317\" data-start=\"1314\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1327\" data-start=\"1317\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr data-end=\"1337\" data-start=\"1334\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1345\" data-start=\"1337\"\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required (beneficial for fuller growth)\u003cbr data-end=\"1392\" data-start=\"1389\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1408\" data-start=\"1392\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to Moderate\u003cbr data-end=\"1428\" data-start=\"1425\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1443\" data-start=\"1428\"\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1552\" data-start=\"1452\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1459\" data-start=\"1452\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 – 7.5\u003cbr data-end=\"1472\" data-start=\"1469\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1488\" data-start=\"1472\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 – 28 °C\u003cbr data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1499\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1516\" data-start=\"1502\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient-rich substrate preferred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1605\" data-start=\"1554\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1570\" data-start=\"1554\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runners\u003cbr data-end=\"1581\" data-start=\"1578\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1592\" data-start=\"1581\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 – 40 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"baka","offers":[{"title":"Loose","offer_id":41429578547333,"sku":"WP89","price":115.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0385\/6331\/5845\/files\/Echinodorus-angustifolia.webp?v=1763187307","url":"https:\/\/www.artofaqua.com\/products\/echinodorus-angustifolia","provider":"Art of Aqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
