Echinodorus palifolius, also known as the Mexican Sword Plant, is an undemanding, fast-growing species that copes well with higher temperatures beyond 25°C. Younger plants remain submerged longer, especially in low nutrient conditions, while older plants in nutrient-rich substrates develop long-stalked aerial leaves. It is best suited for open tanks or large paludariums, where it can reach up to 1 meter in height.
