Echinodorus Fancy Twist is a popular type of Amazon Sword that has leaves ranging from bright green to blood red
Like most swords, they should be planted directly into the substrate
When using inert substrates such as sand or gravel, it is important to supplement the plants with root tabs as Echinodorus are heavy root feeders
The plant can be grown both emersed and submerged and often times, new leaves can grow to the top above the water line
Overall, this plant is easy and undemanding and very suitable for larger tanks.
