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.

Thriving!
Posted by Lauren on 18 May 2023My sword is doing great as the centerpiece of my tank! It has started to grow multiple new leaves, some of which have even turned a reddish color! I would definitely recommend! It is very pretty and I love the marble detail on the leaves.

Laying down roots
Posted by Jessica Payson on 11 Feb 2022I’m a sucker for variegated plants… and these absolutely took off, I can see new roots under my substrate and new leaves starting to poke out. Hopefully I’ll get better marbling on the new growth.
