The Radican Sword Plant, also known as Marble Queen Radican or Echinodorus cordifolius, is a plant with large leaves that can grow both in and out of the aquarium. Its leaves are green with prominent white veins and can reach up to 24 inches in size at maturity. Due to its size, it is recommended to plant it only in large aquariums that can accommodate its growth. The plant’s leaves will float to the surface of the aquarium, so it’s essential to remove the floating ones to prevent shading of the other plants and dropping off of the submersed leaves. It requires moderate light levels of 2 to 3 watts per gallon, provided by full spectrum bulbs in the 5000-7000K range. The Marble Queen Radican reproduces through adventitious plants on the pinnacles and occasionally by seed. It also regularly flowers in an open-top aquarium, which can lead to seed formation. For optimal growth, it benefits from regular additions of CO2, iron-rich fertilizers, and trace elements.
