Vallisneria Gigantea

Vallisneria Gigantea is a larger variant of the popular Vallisneria.  They act as the perfect background plants, growing tall and fast to create a jungle-like appearance.  Vallisneria are grass-like plants that spread along with side shoots and can grow to the height of your aquarium.  They are nutrient loving plants that anchor deep into the substrate.

Vallisneria Gigantea from Asia is an easy plant that grows fast, suitable for large aquariums. In most aquariums the leaves grow so long that they float on the surface (50-150 cm, 2 cm wide). So the plant needs pruning to stop it taking too much light from plants growing beneath. The leaves are tough and strong, so they are not normally eaten by herbivorous fish.

Vallisneria Gigantea easily propagates through runners, which are prolific if the bottom is nutritious.
