Amazon Sword Plant: Background Plant
An Amazon Sword makes a great background plant. When planted alone, it can be an eye-catching centerpiece plant. Its lush green leaves will really stand out especially against a black background. When planted with others of its kind, an Amazon Sword Plant can create a thick green “forest-like” effect. Either way, an Amazon Sword Plant can be just the right plant to hide a power filter intake tube or an aquarium heater.
Aquarium pH: 6.5 – 7.5, and some suggest that pH as low as 6.0 is acceptable.
Water Temperature: Tropical fish range, 72 – 82 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Lighting: Moderate to strong, and for between 10 – 12 hours per day.
Amazon swords are one of the most popular plants in the freshwater aquarium community. They’re gorgeous, easy to care for, and beneficial to the rest of your tank.
Like many other aquatic plants, the presence of Amazon swords can actually have a positive impact on water conditions. It absorbs carbon dioxide in the water and produces oxygen for your fish. Not only that, but it uses waste and organic debris to grow. These plants may help keep ammonia and nitrate levels at bay as well.
Amazon swords are rosette-style plants. They have a bushy appearance with thin stems that grow from one central root crown.
Tank Size
Amazon swords can grow in small 10-gallon gallon tanks. An aquarium of that size provides more than enough space to let the plant spread while still maintaining stable water parameters.
However, an aquarium of that size isn’t enough to let the plant reach its full potential. It’s not a great size if you plan on having many fish either!
We recommend keeping Amazon swords in an aquarium that holds 20 to 30 gallons instead. Larger freshwater tanks offer more vertical space for leaf growth. Plus, the plant won’t overcrowd any tank inhabitants.
Anything smaller, and your plant may require constant trimming to maintain. Amazon swords can grow partially submerged, so you can push the limits by having it exceed the typical confines of your tank. But once again, a smaller tank will only hinder its development.
Lighting
These plants only need a moderate amount of light to survive. Choose full-spectrum lighting that offers about two or three watts per gallon of water volume.
It’s a balancing act providing just the right amount of light for Amazon swords. Too much will result in algae growth on the leaves. Light algae growth isn’t a major concern, but too much of it could cause health problems for the plant.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, not enough light might cause discoloration. The leaves usually turn brown or red due to the lack of light for photosynthesis.
