Echinodorus Marble Queen
S
I've ordered 2 Queen marble sword plants. Both arrived quickly & quickly adapted to my aquarium. They are large,fast growing & beautiful.
S
Great experience. Would recommend.
C
The mottling on my plants is pretty subtle, but they’ve only been planted about a week. I’m more impressed with the creamy, key lime color of these babies. They make my tank look so…tropical, maybe? The true color is hard to pick up in a photo. Just take my word on the key lime color lol. It’s such a nice contrast to the other shades of green and pink in my tank. The plants I received are super healthy and happy in my tank!
