Default ozelot sword

It's a really gorgeous plant provided you have at least 2W/G and can provide
a half decent substrate and root tablets.


Here's a photo of an Ozelot flowering in my 90 gallon with three 32W
T8 tubes:

There's no reason why this plant can't be grown at 1wpg if everything
else is provided for. It certainly does not require more than 2wpg.
Actually, I have found that the colors fade a little with stronger
lighting. This one is sitting in flourite with flourish tabs as the
only fertilizers used in the tank. Leaving it alone and letting the
roots develop over time is the best way to get it to grow well, this
one has been in this tank for about a year now and is close to
breaking the surface now, prior to that it was in a 55g with 80W of
lighting.

Hope that helps
