Amazon Sword plant
 

I've planted this plant a few weeks ago....
I don't see any dramatic change in growth....
It is a 100gallon planted tank and all other plants are doing great. Water
are medium soft, PH 7.2 CO2 is added as well....
Might the plant is battling for nutrition's ?
Any ideas ?

Swords are huge root feeders make sure they are getting enough via the
roots.
You didnt tell us what type of substrate either as that plays a key in
growth

I was wondering about that. Got mine in designer gravel, turning into bushy
shrubs.

They seem to take a few weeks to get their roots established and then
suddenly they take off. Mine are planted in sand & I just use off the shelf
liquid ferts. Reasonably high lihghting & CO2
