Native to South America, it is valued for its large, broad leaves and striking presence, making it an ideal background or centerpiece plant in medium to large aquariums. Its bright green foliage provides a lush, natural backdrop, and its sturdy rosette growth forms a dense, visually appealing structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eThis species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and moderate to strong lighting. CO₂ supplementation is optional but encourages faster, fuller growth and enhances leaf coloration. Echinodorus bleheri spreads through runners, producing new plantlets that fill the aquarium with healthy, long-lasting foliage. Hardy and adaptable, it tolerates a range of water conditions, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers seeking a dramatic, low-maintenance centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1122\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eCare Summary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette \/ Sword plant\u003cbr data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1179\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eEchinodorus bleheri\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amazon Sword\u003cbr data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alismataceae\u003cbr data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1283\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e South America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Background \/ Centerpiece\u003cbr data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1353\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Strong\u003cbr data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1383\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1391\"\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required (beneficial for fuller growth)\u003cbr data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1466\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 – 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1510\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 – 28 °C\u003cbr data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1554\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient-rich substrate preferred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1608\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runners\u003cbr data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1630\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 – 50+ cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"baka","offers":[{"title":"Loose","offer_id":41429586411653,"sku":"WP68","price":55.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Potted","offer_id":41429586444421,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0385\/6331\/5845\/files\/Echinodorusbleheri.webp?v=1763190309","url":"https:\/\/www.artofaqua.com\/products\/echinodorus-blehri","provider":"Art of Aqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
