Also Known as Peace Lily

The Brazilian Sword, commonly referred to as the Peace Lily, is a striking and versatile plant perfect for terrariums, paludariums, and riparium setups. With its elegant, dark green foliage and graceful white blooms, this plant adds a lush, tropical aesthetic to any environment. While primarily grown as a terrestrial plant, it thrives in semi-aquatic conditions with its roots submerged and leaves emerging above the waterline, making it an excellent choice for aquascaping enthusiasts. Additionally, this plant can grow out of an aquarium if only its roots are submerged at the top, providing a unique, natural look while benefiting from nutrient-rich water.

Features We Love:

Elegant Aesthetic: Glossy green leaves with stunning white flowers.
Versatile Growth: Suitable for terrariums, paludariums, ripariums, and aquarium setups with roots in water.
Low Maintenance: Thrives in humid conditions with minimal care.
Air-Purifying: Naturally filters toxins from the air, improving indoor air quality.

Care Guidelines:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions.
Temperature: 65° - 85°F (18° - 29°C).
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels.
Watering: Keep roots submerged in riparium setups or maintain moist soil in terrariums.
Growth Rate: Moderate to fast under optimal conditions.
Ideal Placement: Best for semi-aquatic environments or as a decorative houseplant.

Pro Tips:

Avoid Full Submersion: While it can tolerate waterlogged conditions, keeping the leaves above water prevents rotting.
Encourage Blooming: Provide bright, indirect light and occasional fertilization for optimal flowering.
Aquarium Integration: Can thrive with its roots submerged at the water’s surface, absorbing excess nutrients and promoting clear water.
Pet Precaution: Mildly toxic if ingested, so keep away from pets.

With its unique adaptability and timeless beauty, the Brazilian Sword is a fantastic addition to any aquatic or semi-aquatic setup!

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
