Care Tips: Echinodorus argentinensis is a hardy and attractive plant that can thrive in a variety of aquarium setups. It features narrow, elongated leaves that provide a delicate yet striking appearance in aquascapes. The plant grows well under medium to high lighting, and like other sword plants, it benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate. While not strictly requiring CO₂ supplementation, adding it can improve growth and color. Echinodorus argentinensis prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and stable conditions. It grows at a medium pace, making it a great choice for filling in midground or background areas of your aquarium. Regular trimming of older leaves will help maintain its appearance, and occasional root fertilization can promote healthier growth.
