Care Tips: Echinodorus Marble Queen is a stunning sword plant known for its unique, marble-patterned leaves, featuring a mix of light green and white. This plant is perfect for adding a distinctive and elegant touch to aquascapes. It thrives in medium to high lighting, and its leaf coloration becomes more vivid under these conditions. Marble Queen prefers nutrient-rich substrates and can benefit from iron-rich fertilizers. While not necessary, CO₂ supplementation can enhance its growth and coloration. It prefers stable water conditions with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). Due to its moderate growth rate, it is ideal for midground to background placement in aquariums, but occasional trimming may be required to manage its size and maintain a tidy appearance. Echinodorus Marble Queen is perfect for creating contrast in planted aquariums, pairing well with both green and red plants.
