TODAY'S Plants are bigger and look BETTER than the photos! This is a sweet type of more narrow leaf Amazon Sword from Argentina. Like all swords this is a heavy root feeder. It will do "OK" with root tabs but likes a big "Meal" of dirt or at least some sort of planted tank substrate. (Yes it will thrive using our "Dustin's Dirt Packs" Premier Aquarium Substrate) Like most swords these was originally grown above water as you can tell by the "Spoon" looking leaves. This plant might melt back a bit as it will have to adjust to underwater growth as you plant it into your aquarium. This is a great background plant and is a pretty easy beginner plant. It is not very light demanding, but the more light you give it, the faster it will grow and the better it will look. On a scale of 1 to 10. This Argentiensis Sword is a 3 (only because of the potential melt back)
