The leaves on this plant are blade shape and medium to dark green in colour. This plant does not have any special requirements with regard to maintenance in the aquarium, which makes it a highly recommended plant for the beginner.
Amazon swords will grow under low to medium lights, but not as fast and they won’t turn that bright green color you’re probably expecting. Instead, they’ll turn a deep green and you’ll likely struggle to get any good growth
Amazon swords have insane root structures, so you need substrate. But you can grow amazon swords in a pot if you want a bare bottom tank, which is the closest you’re going to get. They’ll typically start throwing off babies for you much faster this way, but they won’t get nearly as large.
