Vallisneria
The vallisnerias are often confused with the sagittarias. Like them, they reproduce
through runners, need plenty of light, water that is not too hard, and a slightly
acid pH.
Vallisneria asiatica
The eel grass is found in several varieties. Its leaves are spiraled. It can
exceed 40 cm in height, which makes it ideal for decorating the sides or rear of
an aquarium. Size: 40-50 cm.
Vallisneria spiralis
The term spiralis refers to the floral peduncle and not the leaves. The spiraled
eel grass is very popular in aquariums and reproduces actively under good conditions.
Size: 40-50 cm.
Vallisneria gigantea
Its leaves, which can grow to 1 m in length and 3 cm in width, rest on the surface
of the water. The giant vallisneria prefers intense lighting and a slightly enriched
soil. It is obviously only suitable for large aquariums. Size: 1 m.
