Native to Brazil, this sword variety features long, rippled foliage that creates dramatic movement and a lush, tropical appearance in the aquarium. Its impressive size and vibrant green coloration make it a favourite for background planting in medium to large tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003eThis hardy species thrives in moderate lighting and performs best in nutrient-rich substrate, where it develops strong root systems and produces new leaves regularly. While CO₂ supplementation is not required, it can enhance growth and leaf size. Echinodorus major is adaptable and easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. Given sufficient space, stable conditions, and a rich substrate, it becomes a stunning centerpiece plant that brings height, texture, and natural beauty to any aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003eCare Summary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1381\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1220\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette plant\u003cbr data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1237\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1277\"\u003eEchinodorus major\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruffled Sword \/ Major Amazon Sword\u003cbr data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1345\"\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alismataceae\u003cbr data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1372\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1563\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1396\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Background (medium to large aquariums)\u003cbr data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1448\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1466\"\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required (beneficial for larger growth)\u003cbr data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1529\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1556\"\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1572\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0 – 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 – 28 °C\u003cbr data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1629\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient-rich substrate essential\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1683\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runners\u003cbr data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1705\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 – 50+ cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"baka","offers":[{"title":"Loose","offer_id":41429569962117,"sku":"WP80","price":85.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0385\/6331\/5845\/files\/Echinodorusmajor-loose.webp?v=1763183549","url":"https:\/\/www.artofaqua.com\/products\/echinodorus-major","provider":"Art of Aqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
