Care Tips: Echinodorus uruguayensis is an attractive, medium-sized sword plant with long, narrow, and slightly wavy leaves that emerge from a central rosette. It requires medium to high lighting for optimal growth, and a nutrient-rich substrate will help support its root system. CO₂ injection is beneficial for promoting faster and healthier growth, although it can still thrive in low-tech setups. It should be planted in the midground to background of the tank, where it can grow to its full potential. Regular trimming is recommended to remove older leaves and maintain the plant’s shape. Liquid fertilizers with added iron will also enhance its growth and coloration. This plant is ideal for creating texture and depth in larger aquascapes, adding a touch of elegance with its slender, graceful leaves.
