Description
Radican Marble Queen Sword (Echinodorus Cordifolius)
Radicans Marble Queen Sword, also known as Echinodorus Cordifolius, originates from North America and Mexico. It produces very attractive green leaves that are circular with lighter or darker markings (marbling), making the plant a focal point in any aquarium including in a well-planted aquarium.
Care & Maintenance
Radican Sword plant is undemanding and will grow well under varied conditions. It will grow faster and larger if provided with good lighting, substrate, and iron-based fertilizers.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 71-82°F
- Tank Placement: Midground
If you want to keep the plant short, more compacted, or tidy, remove large and older leaves occasionally by cutting them with sharp aquascaping scissors.
Radican Sword is also available potted.

Small but pretty
Posted by Alyssa Magiera on 4 Dec 2021The plant received was small, and several leaves were damaged in shipping (it happens). Swords are hardy, it will be fine! The marbling is really going to make this plant the showpiece of the tank when it fills in more.

Beautiful and healthy
Posted by Kel on 24 Nov 2021This is my first plant purchase for my first planted tank. I am very impressed with all the plants I received. The marbling was stunning and only one very small leaf on the plant has "melted"

Posted by Hillary on 14 Dec 2020Plant about 7" tall. Received quickly and nice and healthy and pest free. I love the pattern coloring of the leaves. Now if my darn fish would stop digging it up!

Radican Marble Queen Sword
Posted by Gwen on 10 Dec 2020I will write just one review because my comments hold true for all the plants I have received from Modern Aquarium. This is the only place I will buy aquatic plants for my aquarium. They are healthy and do not have snails or snail eggs on them. I am still battling the snails that came in on plants from an aquarium store, and pet stores can't be trusted, either.

1st time purchased
Posted by Kim Nicolosi on 27 Aug 2020Love the plant and it came in healthy but seems to be struggling in the aquarium. Fingers crossed it will adapt since colors of the plant are fairly unique in the hobby.
