Narrow Leaf Chain Sword
Narrow Leaf Chain Sword is a hardy aquatic plant suitable for covering the foreground of your aquarium when grown under appropriate conditions. It spreads through horizontal runners, creating a dense and natural-looking layer.
This plant thrives in nutrient-rich soil with supplemental fertilization. Our recommended soil is available separately. Without sufficient nutrients, growth and spreading may be limited. Adding CO2 to the aquarium environment can enhance growth rates.
Rapid changes in water parameters may cause the plant to appear damaged or wilted.
Portion size may vary and the plant may not be potted.

Grew well in my 20-gallon tank with regular fertilization. The narrow leaves spread nicely along the bottom and added a natural look. I kept water parameters stable and saw steady growth over three months.
Eric Robertson –
Planted it in nutrient-rich soil with weekly liquid fertilizer. It spread slowly at first but became dense after a month. I didn’t add CO2, and it still grew well.

Perfect for foreground coverage. The horizontal runners spread evenly and the plant stayed healthy even during seasonal water changes. Only issue was a brief wilt after a temperature spike.
