Vallisneria gigantea (Bunched)

Vallisneria gigantea, commonly known as Giant Vallisneria, is a robust aquatic plant valued for its long, ribbon-like leaves and easy care. It typically grows submerged, sending out long, slender leaves that can reach lengths of up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) or more. The leaves are typically green but can develop reddish hues under certain conditions. Giant Vallisneria forms dense clusters of foliage, providing excellent coverage for fish and fry in aquariums. It prefers moderate to high lighting and benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate. Regular pruning helps maintain its appearance and prevent overgrowth, making it a popular choice for aquascaping projects.
