## Overview

The Potted Melon Sword is a beginner-friendly live tropical aquarium plant, perfect for mid to large freshwater tanks. It provides natural shelter for fish and invertebrates, shipped in an emerged form that gradually turns from green to a vibrant red, enhancing your aquarium’s natural beauty and ecosystem.

## Description

The Melon Sword, Echinodorus osiris, is a very beautiful Rosette Plant. The leaves are stemmed in appearance and are slightly rippled along the edges. Mature leaves are green, while new younger leaves have a reddish tint. Originally from Brazil, the Melon Sword will tolerate hard water and grow in weak lighting. If in strong light, a nutrient-rich substrate and iron-rich fertilizer are required to keep it from being stunted. In this environment, the water temperature should be no lower than 75°F. Ideal water conditions are a temperature between 65°-82°F, an alkalinity of 3 to 8 dKH, and a pH of 6.5-7.5. A good way to achieve the lighting levels is to illuminate the aquarium with approximately 2 watts per gallon or more using full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. The Melon Sword propagates most often by side shoots coming off the rhizome. They have also been observed with adventitious plants on the peduncle. For the most eye-catching display in the aquarium, plant them singly, scattered throughout the aquarium. Approximate Shipping Size: Potted. 5" to 8"

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with my little plant
*by M***5 on May 9, 2025*

I was worried because from order placed to delivered was about 7, 8 days. Then I do what I'm sure most of us do and look at all the 1 star experiences and start to wonder. However, my little amazon plant came in perfectly fine. The tiny pot was moist and i stuck him in a cup of water for now till I can germinate my tank (a first time for me) I can add more pictures of a completed tank and happy plant when its all set up. In the mean time, here is what he looked like on arrival. (Xbox controller for scale)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish love them!
*by C***  on June 6, 2025*

Actually really impressed with the quality of the plants, I kinda thought they would be dead due to transport, but I was pleasantly surprised! I may order more! This is definitely the one you want ic your planting your aquarium!

### ⭐ Didn’t receive good plants
*by S***Z on April 6, 2025*

I’m very disappointed. I had bought 2 moneyworts and 1 monte carlo and they all came basically dead. The moneywort was packaged in a box too small and was bent. At first I didn’t see a problem because I thought that throughout time they would revert back to being mainly straight but they didn’t. The moneywort leaves were yellow/brown and the plants were covered in dark green goo that happens when the plants are dying. The roots were also brown and mushy. I had put the plants that I thought I might be able to save in the tank but they only lasted for about 2 weeks ( with me trimming the dead gooey leaves off to try to keep the bad parts from spreading). They all ended up dying. I wasn’t able to put the Monte Carlo in my tank at all bc it was bad.
