Rose Sword
Rose Sword
Rose Sword is a broad-leaved hybrid cultivar producing attractive pink to reddish hues on wide leaves in a full, lush rosette — a gentle, warmly colored sword plant whose soft rosy tones create a naturally inviting and warm midground to background presence. The pink-reddish color is consistently attractive and develops reliably in nutrient-rich substrate without demanding conditions.
Care tip: Rose Sword is a root feeder that benefits greatly from a nutrient-rich substrate or regular root tabs. Maintain temperatures of 72–82°F and pH 6.5–7.5. CO₂ is optional for this variety.
Growing to 12 to 20 inches, Rose Sword is a midground to background plant for medium and larger aquariums. Root tabs or enriched substrate support the best growth and the warmest pink-reddish expression. The broad leaves create good visual mass and natural shelter in the background zone.
This easy plant grows under moderate lighting with CO₂ optional. Temperatures between 72 and 82°F and a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 provide comfortable conditions. Regular root feeding maintains the soft pink-reddish coloration and the broad, healthy leaves. As the chart notes it grows easily with nutrient-rich substrate — root feeding is the most effective care investment for this cultivar.
In the aquascape, Rose Sword provides soft, warm pink-reddish background color in a full, lush rosette that creates a naturally inviting, warm-toned background presence. The soft pink tones complement green foreground plants without the intensity of deeper red cultivars. In community tanks and low-tech planted aquariums it provides accessible warm color without demanding care.
Rose Sword is a soft, warmly colored, and easy-care background sword for aquarists who want gentle pink-reddish background color in a broad-leaved, reliable cultivar. Its soft coloration, broad leaves, and practical ease make it a naturally beautiful and dependable background plant for a wide range of aquarium setups.
