General Information ::
Echinodorus cordifolius, also known as the Radican Sword is an attractive Rosette plant that has vibrant-green, stemmed leaves. The Radican Sword will grow to reach 24+ inches tall and is often used as a large, beautiful centerpiece in many aquariums.
The Radican Sword requires a nutrient-rich substrate and iron-rich fertilizer, as well as moderate to high lighting of 2 to 4 watts per gallon from full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. The Radican Sword will benefit from CO2 injection and as with other Echinodorus species, the Radican Sword is usually left alone by herbivorous and large fish.
The Radican Sword mainly propagates from adventitious plants. Once the new plant establishes a root system and a few leaves, cut it at the root with very sharp, sterilized scissors and gently press the "baby" into the substrate.
