🌿 Marble Queen Sword – Variegated Showpiece for a Natural Aquarium (Echinodorus ‘Marble Queen’)

🌿 Bring striking contrast and robust growth to your natural aquarium with the Marble Queen Sword (Echinodorus 'Marble Queen'). Broad leaves marbled in creamy white and deep green make a standout centerpiece in Father Fish–style tanks. With a strong root system and tall, upright growth, it adds shelter, oxygenation, and balance in deep substrate setups—no CO2 or bottled ferts.

Why it’s great for a natural aquarium

• ✅ Eye-catching variegation—cream-and-green marbled foliage
• ✅ Strong root system—anchors long-term in deep substrate
• ✅ Low maintenance—no CO2, no dosing, thrives in soil setups
• ✅ Fish-friendly—broad leaves provide shade and cover
• ✅ Flexible placement—midground or background in 20+ gal tanks

Care

• Lighting: medium to high (more light = bolder pattern)
• Substrate: deep soil base with a sand cap (Father Fish method)
• Growth rate: moderate
• Max height: ~12–20"+
• Placement: background or large midground

🌱 Plant the crown at sand level and give roots room to run under the cap. Skip root tabs—your soil does the feeding.
