It sounds like you may not have enough light (full spectrum) for your tank. I would go to the pet store and get a plant friendly bulb for your tank. It should have a rating between 5000-7000k. The clerk can help you with selecting that.8 The Amazon sword plant prefers a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. You can use aquarium pH chemicals if the pH needs adjustment.
