About this item

Echinodorus Big Bear Sword, a rare Amazon Sword variant, boasts green leaves with red markings throughout, requiring planting directly into substrate like most swords; benefits from root tabs for inert substrates; suitable for both emersed and submerged growth, with new leaves often reaching above the water line; overall, easy-care and undemanding, perfect for larger tanks.
Amazon sword plants can get very large, making them a great fit for a larger tank.
With a nutrient rich substrate these plants will tolerate most lighting conditions, but moderate to high lighting is ideal. CO2 injection is not necessary but will help the plant grow faster if desired.
Amazon sword plants will grow submersed or emersed. Emersed plants produce lovely white flowers.
SubstrateSource carefully conducts thorough inspections on every plant prior to shipment and ensures secure packaging for safe delivery.

Product Description

Echinodorus Big Bear Sword is a rare type of Amazon Sword which green leaves with red markings throughout. Like most swords, they should be planted directly into the substrate. When using inert substrates such as sand or gravel, it is important to supplement the plants with root tabs as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders. The plant can be grown both emersed and submerged and often times, new leaves can grow to the top above the water line. Overall, this plant is easy and undemanding and very suitable for larger tanks.

Great value for money

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

Style: Amazon SwordSize: 3 Pots (12-15 Plants)Verified Purchase

So first things first, these are grown immersed and not submerged so when you put them in your tank expect the original leaves to die off and new leaves to grow. The new leaves will be longer and wider and look amazing.. anyways great vale for the money, I purchased the 3 planted pots and I think each pot came with 4-5 plants.

Extremely happy with how seller packages and ships product. No delivery issues. The retail stores should sell their plants in the manner this seller sends them. Quality of plants is above n beyond. 3 star rating is due to I have no length of time with initial purchase.

Mostly arrived in bad shape. Only 1 or 2 leaves or still alive. Will promote plant life with plant food. Hopefully will grow better in the future.
However I'm a beginner. Will keep you all posted.

Lots of yellow and dying leaves. I ordered two sets. They did have about 6 plants per bundle. Did have a warmer pack in package, it was cold. After adding to my tank they melted. Thats kinda expected but I didn’t expect them to look so miserable straight out of the package. I have 3 plants per bundle that I think will make it. Buy at your own risk. I’ll go back to buying from my local fish store.

New foilage growing in less than a week! Wow

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018

Style: Amazon SwordSize: 1 Pot (4-5 Plants)Verified Purchase

So beautiful, it came two days earlier than estimated so unfortunately it sat in the hot metal mailbox in 90+ degree heat for at least 24 hours, would have been 48 hours had I not ordered something else that was coming that day... but despite that, it was fully intact! I only had to remove one leaf due to the heat shriveling it. This is my first ever live aquarium plant (besides moss balls) so if all keeps growing well I will definitely make my tank a fully planted one.. but anyway- there were no snails, no worms or pests of any kind and the roots were strong, long and white.. very happy to say in less than a week the leaves have stretched out, and I have a new leaf coming up from the center.. My skirt tetras are extremely satisfied swimming in between the leaves and hiding! Love, love, love it.
