Description:
Aquarius horizontalis is a medium-sized sword plant native to the Amazon region, known for its horizontally arranged leaves that transition from red and brown to green as they mature. This plant thrives in shaded marsh woods and temporarily flooded forests, adapting well to changing water levels. It can grow both emersed and submersed, producing flower stalks when submerged. The leaves feature a unique transparent grid-like pattern and require a nutrient-rich substrate with a good CO2 supply. Although slow-growing, it is not demanding and can propagate through side shoots. It is a rare plant suitable for aquascaping, tolerating most lighting conditions.
