Echinodorus uruguayensis
Family: Alismataceae
Echinodorus Uruguayensis is a large, bold sword plant from South America producing broad, dark-green leaves with a smooth texture and prominent venation, reaching up to 60 cm in height. It is notable for tolerating cooler water than most tropical swords, thriving at temperatures as low as 16 °C. Its imposing size makes it best suited as a specimen background plant in larger aquariums.
