🗡️ Grandifolius ‘Rangeri’ Sword – Graceful, Broad-Leaf Beauty for the Natural Aquarium (Echinodorus ‘Rangeri’)

🗡️ Bring graceful structure to your natural aquarium with the Grandifolius ‘Rangeri’ Sword (Echinodorus ‘Rangeri’). Wide, elongated leaves sway gently in the current, adding an elegant, planted backdrop in Father Fish–style deep substrate setups. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives without CO2, bottled fertilizers, or constant pruning—just soil, a sand cap, and time.

Why it’s great for a natural aquarium

• 🌿 Tall and graceful—perfect for background planting
• 💪 Hardy, low-maintenance—no CO2 or dosing needed
• 🐠 Fish- and shrimp-safe—broad leaves give shade and cover
• 🌱 True root feeder—loves deep, natural substrates
• 💧 Adaptable—handles a range of freshwater conditions

Care

• Lighting: low–medium
• Substrate: deep organic soil with a sand cap
• Placement: background (leave space for leaf spread)
• Growth rate: moderate once established
• Tank size: 20 gallons and up

🌱 Plant the crown at sand level and avoid moving it—roots will run under the cap and stabilize the tank naturally.

Father Fish tip

“Plant it deep in aged soil, then leave it alone. Swords reward patience with size, shade, and balance.”
