Chocolate Marble Sword Plant (Echinodorus sp. ‘Chocolate Marble’)

The Chocolate Marble Sword Plant is a striking aquarium centrepiece featuring deep reddish-brown to maroon tones mottled with dark green and chocolate hues. This hardy Echinodorus grows broad, wavy-edged leaves that add bold colour and contrast to freshwater setups. It adapts easily to any aquascape. When rooted in nutrient-rich substrate or supplemented with root tabs, it becomes a stunning mid ground or background focal point. Unique Coloration: Marbled burgundy, brown, and deep green tones that deepen with maturity and bright lighting. Hardy & Low-Maintenance: Tolerates a wide range of tank conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. Excellent Cover: Broad leaves provide shelter and foraging grounds for shrimp, snails, and peaceful fish. Care at a Glance: Moderate to high light, 72–82°F, pH 6.5–7.5, medium growth rate. Best positioned in the mid ground to background. Pro Tips: Use root tabs to boost vibrant growth. Trim outer leaves to encourage new shoots. Brighter lighting intensifies the marbled effect. Minor leaf melting after planting is normal as the plant adjusts to submerged conditions. Hand-selected for quality and beauty, the Chocolate Marble Sword Plant brings rich, earthy elegance to any aquatic layout.
