You will receive 6 X 5cm potted Vallisneria Gigantea Rubra
"Giant Val Rubra"
This is one of the better looking Vallisneria as it will display reddish leaves if given the correct lighting levels. If the lighting is too low, the leaves will revert back to a green colouration but the plant will still grow at a fast rate. If this is not pruned on a regular basis the leaves will start to spread across the water surface. Always make sure that the leaves do not get fractured, as soon as this happens the leaf will die off. Many keepers think that this plant cannot be pruned back, this is not true. As long as the leaves are cut back with sharp scissors they will be o.k. Leaves that are dying off can also be removed by lifting them away at the base.
-
Vallisneria are heavy root feeders and should be planted deeply in quality aquarium soil.
-
Vallisneria grows very large and tall making them suitable for larger planted aquariums.
-
Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
-
Please be sure to remove this plant from its wrap. Remove the foam surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate.
-
CO2 injection will yield better growth.
-
Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
