Rosette Sword will grow up to approximately 10 inches and is thus an ideal plant for aquariums of all sizes. In smaller aquariums, it can serve as a focal point plant and be planted in the background areas of the aquarium. In larger setups, it can be positioned in front of large stem plants, hiding their stems and filling the midground spaces in the aquarium. You should trim older leaves if they become covered by algae. Sharp aquascaping scissors make this task easy.
