Marble Queen Sword

The Marble Queen Sword is valued for its mottled green-and-cream foliage. It provides the substantial rosette shape of a traditional sword plant while adding a more unusual appearance.

Marble Queen Swords do not require injected CO₂, but they perform best with moderate lighting and reliable root nutrition. Stronger light generally helps maintain better variegation, while very low light may produce greener or less strongly patterned growth.

Why Hobbyists Love Marble Queen Swords

Growth & Care

Marble Queen requires more room than small rosette plants. Under favorable conditions it may eventually send leaves toward or above the water’s surface, particularly in shallow or open aquariums.

Lighting & Nutrition

Provide quality substrate or regular root tabs. Moderate lighting helps support attractive variegation. A complete liquid fertilizer may supplement but should not replace root nutrition.

Placement & Planting

Bury the roots while leaving the crown exposed. Remove deteriorating transition leaves individually at the crown.

Good Uses

• Medium and large planted aquariums
• Angelfish and discus displays
• Premium centerpiece planting
• South American aquascapes
• Tanks needing a patterned focal plant

Avoid:

• Burying the crown
• Permanently holding it without root nutrition
• Extremely dim lighting if strong variegation is desired
• Large herbivorous or digging fish
