Vallisneria

Description

PLEASE NOTE: ALL OUR PLANTS ARE GROWN IN FUNCTIONING ECOSYSTEMS THAT HAVE SHRIMP, FISH, SNAILS & OTHER PLANTS – WE INSPECT EACH STEM BEFORE SENDING BUT PLEASE BE OPEN TO THE IDEA OF A HITCH-HIKER COMING WITH YOUR PLANT

This plant is sold as a string with one main plant and at least 3 ‘runners’

Common Name: Vallis or Jungle Val

This plant grows really fast and tolerates a wide range of water conditions. Perfect for low light or cold water tanks but can go in your tropical tanks too – if you do not mind the ‘jungle’ looking planted tank because this plant will take over. It spreads by sending off runners through the substrate with little plantlets.

This plant is grown in outdoor tubs in the sun so please do not be alarmed if the leaves look orange, brown or red, this does not mean the plant is dying, in fact it is the opposite – it means the plant is thriving in high light conditions. It will most likely turn back to a vibrant green colour in an indoor tank.
