I have an amazon sword that grows lots of new leaves, but they never seem to get any taller. Theres about 10 new leaves already, probably about 5 inches tall, and maybe about 8 old leaves that are 15 inches+ tall. Does anyone know why the new leaves on the sword doesn't grow?

It's getting 2 wpg, c02, and nutrients dosed every 2 weeks.

Thanks.
 
Amazon swords are big root feeders. Try puting a plant spike fertilizer under the root of the sword and you will probably see some improvement.

On my swords, I try to clip the outer leaves, very near the roots. Maybe you can try this; cut a few off.
