Description
Chain Sword Broad Leaf (Echinodorus Quadricostatus)
Echinodorus Quadricostatus, commonly known as Chain Sword Broad Leaf or Dwarf Swordplant, originates from Brazil. This short plant is ideal for use in the foreground. Provided with good conditions, lighting, and rich substrate or proper fertilization, Chain Sword will grow quickly spreading across the substrate through runners.
Care & Maintenance
The plant will adapt and grow differently depending on the intensity of lighting. While not required, this plant will appreciate fertilization and, if you notice yellowing leaves, add iron fertilizer such as this Liquid Iron Plant Fertilizer by Microbe-Lift. Chain Sword propagates from runners and, unlike its other cousins from the Echinodorus or Sword family of plants, remains small and compact. Under ideal conditions, it will propagate fast and cover the foreground of the aquarium, giving it a lawn-like effect.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 68-84° F
- Tank Placement: Foreground

Love it
Posted by Anne Simmons on 8 Dec 2022I bought a second of these because the first has been such a wonderful addition. It quickly put out a shoot and started a second plant.

Plant came in health
Posted by Kingston Wong on 30 Sep 2022Was surprised that I got only one plant. Has been 3+ weeks the "Mother Plant" did send out runners, so now I have 4.

Lovely and thriving!
Posted by Elizabeth Haluska-Rauch on 11 Mar 2022I haven't tried these before. I put one in the 10 gallon which has medium light and one in the 30 gallon which has bright light and both are doing well. Look forward to sharing offsets with my niece.

Chain Sword Broad Leaf
Posted by Steve Minnick on 14 Sep 2021The plant arrived in great shape! I was very pleased to see how healthy the plant was. After soaking it in room temperature for over 24 hours, I planted it in my aquarium. I hope it likes it’s new home.
