Amazon sword plants experiencing summer die-off

Wow, that's amazing, I had no idea Amazon Swords could actually flower.

I think there could be a temperature difference in the aquarium during the seasons. If not, I'd look into the water source - are you using tap water? Water parameters tend to change with the seasons, that might be the culprit.

When Amazon Swords mature, they produce a flower spike that can reach up to 6 feet in length, although it's usually shorter, around 2-3 feet. The spike grows above the water's surface and produces white flowers spaced about 4 inches apart. In contrast, when the plant is fully submerged, it produces baby plants along the flower stalk. These baby swordplants should be left on the stem until they develop a decent root system. To help them grow, you can weigh them down onto the gravel or place them in pots with gravel. After a few months, you can cut the main flower stalk on either side of the plants, and voila, you have new plants.
