Care Tips: Echinodorus gabrielii is an attractive sword plant with large, broad, and elongated green leaves. It is ideal for larger aquariums and can be placed in the midground or background. The plant thrives in medium to high lighting and will benefit from a nutrient-rich substrate, which encourages vigorous growth. While it can grow without CO₂ supplementation, adding CO₂ can enhance its growth and overall health. This species enjoys stable water conditions with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). Echinodorus gabrielii has a moderate to fast growth rate and may require trimming of older leaves to maintain a neat appearance. Its large size and beautiful, arching leaves make it a perfect plant for aquariums that need a striking, green focal point.
