Amazon swords are one of the oldest-kept plants in the hobby, loved for their ease of care and ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions. They have long, broad leaves with a pointed end that come in bright green to dark green colors. This monster plant can grow 20 inches tall or more, making them a great background plant for larger aquariums or centerpiece for small aquariums.

How to Plant Amazon Sword in Aquarium

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to push the roots of the sword deeply into the substrate until they are completely buried. Pull out the plant slightly so that the crown (i.e., the base of the plant where all the leaves come out) is not covered with substrate.
4. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the plant at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the plant to keep it anchored.
5. Make sure to add lots of root tabs if you’re using inert substrate or if your nutrient-rich substrate is depleted.

How to Care for Amazon Sword Plant

— Amazon sword care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 PAR. 
— Why is my new sword plant melting? Sword plants are sometimes known to experience melting when they suddenly move to a new environment. To help the plant recover faster and grow new leaves that are accustomed to your water parameters, leave the roots planted in the ground and make sure to provide nutrient-rich planted tank substrate or Easy Root Tabs
— Why is my Amazon sword turning brown after it was growing so well? Sword plants absorb lots of nutrients from the ground, so it may be a nutrient deficiency. If the larger, outer leaves are yellowing and dying after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
— How to trim Amazon sword: If the sword plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf.
— Note: Bristlenose plecos and other plecos have been known to eat sword plants, so watch out for this if you see holes in the leaves.

How to Propagate Amazon Sword

Sword plants reproduce by sending out a horizontal runner with a little plantlet at the end. The plantlet will sprout its own leaves and roots that grow into the ground. You can cut off the plantlet and re-plant it in a different location.

Great cable
With no other reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this cable at first. I've seen so many other brands and sellers that sell cable that is half the gauge they claim. Or cable that is not totally copper and has tin or other poor metals in it. Especially at this low price I worried. I went ahead and bought some anyway though and figured I would chance it. For the amount of money I'd be saving it was worth it. If it wasn't as advertised I could just return it anyway. It arrived in a couple days. It is truly 1/0 AWG, and it is 100% copper. Strands packed dense but still flexible. Comes in a nice carry case. I crimped and soldered on some ends. Everything looks great and is working great. Would definitely recommend and would buy again.

Great wire.
Color: Black, Size: 15 feet
The flexibility is wonderful to work with. I used the red and black for a car audio application and it was a perfect choice for bending and snaking through the engine compartment and interior of the car. I have some just sitting on a bench and it still hasn't corroded and it's at least 3 years old. The insulation is very supple and has a nice feel to it and it carried current no problem of course.
