Ruffled Amazon Sword Plant
The Ruffled Amazon Sword Plant is a close relative to the Narrow Leaf Amazon Sword and the Broadleaved Amazon Sword, it's leaves tend to attain a much larger size and also have ruffles around the edges, making it a beautiful plant for your larger aquariums.Ruffled Amazon Sword Plants will reach a maximum height of 20 inches. This makes them quite a nice plant for larger aquariums in the 55 - 150 Gal range. Since their leaves grow very large and broad it is a good idea to plant them in an isolated area, without many surrounding plants. This will give them plenty of room to grow and help them look more natural in the aquarium.The Ruffled Amazon Swords are a relatively easy plant to grow. They do best in Medium to high lighting and should be provided with a fine substrate, preferably an iron-rich substrate. Propagating these plants is fairly simple if the conditions are right. They will simply grow adventitious plantlets which will eventually separate and grow into their own plants.
