Aponogeton Longiplumulosus is a tall bulb plant that originates from Madagascar.  The leaves are long and thin with ruffled edges, almost like a cross between Aponogeton and Cryptocoryne Balansae.  It makes a wonderful background addition for larger aquariums and can grow to the surface of your aquarium.  Like other Aponogeton bulbs, this plant is quite hardy and does well in a wide range of water parameters. Large, fluted leaves (35-60 cm long), making it a wonderful plant which can be recommended for large aquariums (the whole plant becomes 25-40 cm wide).

The bulb can be covered with the bottom layer, as long as the sprout tip is at the soil surface. It is relatively undemanding and makes no special demands on water quality. A Nutrition capsule placed under the bulb enhances the growth considerably. It also flowers frequently, making it a beautiful addition to any large open aquarium.

It stops growing at regular intervals, but normally starts again after a few weeks of dormancy.
