Chocolate Marble Sword – A Swirl of Earthy Elegance 🍫🌿

Echinodorus sp. ‘Chocolate Marble’ is a show-stopping sword plant with broad, glossy leaves marbled in rich chocolate browns, deep olive greens, and warm bronze streaks. Each leaf unfurls like a painted canvas, making it as much an art piece as a plant. With its upright growth and full-bodied rosette form, it becomes a stunning midground to background centerpiece in freshwater aquariums, especially in nature-style and Amazon-themed layouts.

This hardy species adapts well to a variety of water parameters, thriving under moderate to high light where its marbling becomes more vibrant. Given enough root nutrition, Chocolate Marble Sword will produce lush foliage year-round and may even send up flower stalks in mature tanks—sometimes sprouting plantlets for easy propagation.
