Here’s a rephrased version of your description with smoother flow while keeping all the details:

 

 

 

Echinodorus ‘Chocolate Marble’ is a rare and striking hybrid sword plant, admired for its dramatic variegated leaves that display a unique marbled pattern unlike traditional Amazon Swords. This bold coloration is what gives the plant its name, making it an eye-catching centerpiece for aquascapers who want a decorative and standout feature in their aquarium.

 

Like the classic Amazon Sword, this variety can grow tall and full, making it best suited for larger aquariums where it has space to reach its potential. With proper care, it becomes a showpiece plant that adds both beauty and function to freshwater setups.
