Overview:

Echinodorus ‘Green Chameleon’ is a distinctive sword plant cultivar, known for its ability to subtly change leaf colour depending on lighting and nutrient conditions. New growth often appears lighter green, gradually deepening as the leaves mature.

Its broad, gently textured leaves give it a classic Amazon Sword appearance, while the shifting tones add extra visual interest. It works well as a feature plant in both community and planted aquariums.

Care and Growth:

This plant thrives in medium lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though supplementation can support stronger growth. As a heavy root feeder, it benefits greatly from a nutrient-rich substrate or the regular use of root tabs.

Growth is steady once established. Older outer leaves can be trimmed to maintain shape and encourage healthy new leaves from the centre of the rosette.

Key Features:

• Subtle colour variation depending on conditions
• Broad leaves with classic sword plant form
• Hardy and beginner-friendly
• Ideal for midground or background placement
• Great focal plant for freshwater aquariums
