Common Name:Giant Val Rubra

Giant Val Rubra is a variant of giant vals with leaves that can develop a reddish hue. They act as the perfect background plants, growing tall and fast to create a jungle-like appearance. Vals are grass-like plants that spread alongside shoots and can grow to the height of your aquarium. They are nutrient-loving plants that anchor deep into the substrate.

Notes:

• 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. For instructions on how to properly prep bunched aquarium plants, clickhere.
• CO2 injection will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
