Its bright green foliage adds height and texture, making it an excellent choice for mid-ground to background placement in nature-style and biotope aquariums. The plant’s elegant, arching leaves create movement and a natural aesthetic, enhancing the visual depth of any planted tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eThis hardy species thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and moderate lighting. While CO₂ supplementation is optional, it encourages faster growth, fuller leaves, and a more vibrant appearance. Echinodorus paniculatus propagates through runners, producing new plantlets that gradually expand to form dense clusters. Its adaptability and low-maintenance nature make it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquascapers looking for a robust, eye-catching sword plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003eCare Summary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosette \/ Sword plant\u003cbr data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003eEchinodorus paniculatus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paniculatus Sword\u003cbr data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alismataceae\u003cbr data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e South America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1509\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-ground to Background\u003cbr data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1404\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required (beneficial for faster growth)\u003cbr data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1475\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1487\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 – 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 – 28 °C\u003cbr data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrient-rich substrate preferred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1629\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runners\u003cbr data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1640\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 – 50 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"baka","offers":[{"title":"Loose","offer_id":41429587132549,"sku":"WP67","price":65.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Potted","offer_id":41429587165317,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0385\/6331\/5845\/files\/EchinodorusPanciculatusloose.jpg?v=1763190955","url":"https:\/\/www.artofaqua.com\/products\/echinodorus-paniculatus","provider":"Art of Aqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
