Category: Freshwater Aquarium Plants
The Marble Queen Sword is what happens when Mother Nature meets modern design—an eye-catching Echinodorus cultivar with creamy variegation marbled across lush green leaves. This plant turns heads with its frosted appearance, offering all the bold, upright drama of a traditional sword plant, but with a pattern so pretty it looks hand-painted.
Developed through selective breeding (likely from the popular Amazon Sword lineage), the Marble Queen is ideal as a midground or background statement plant in medium to large aquariums. Its large, wavy leaves grow in elegant rosettes and contrast beautifully with darker or solid-green foliage.

For the most vibrant marbling, keep lighting strong and consistent. In lower light setups, leaves may revert to greener tones and lose that signature swirl. Add a splash of root fertilizer for an extra color boost! 💚🍦
