Product Information

Like many other aquatic species, Vallisneria plants have been spread to many different parts of the world. Always take care to not let your aquarium plant trimmings get into local waterways. What DoesVallisneria Look Like? Having said that, here are the major factors that impact the choice of root tabs versus a liquid fertilizer in an aquarium with plants: If you’re looking for a low-maintenance aquascape that doesn’t need any trimming, Vallisneria might not be the plant for you. These plants have a habit of sending runners out and popping up all over the place. Plant the stem plants 3-4 cm apart as well. This method will let plenty of light inside the aquarium and your stem plants will get enough fertilizers. 10-12 floating plants are ideal for a 10-gallon tank. In this way, your plant will have room to grow!

One important piece of equipment that you’re going to want to invest in is a decent pair of aquascaping scissors for trimming and removing unwanted stolons from the plant. Although you can get by with just one pair, a straight set is most useful for cutting the runners while a curved pair will work best for trimming the leaf blades. One common problem that first-time Vallisneria growers have is planting them too deep. Covering the crown of the plant with soil or gravel will result in rotting and melting. The best way to solve this problem is to gently lift the plant up until its crown is exposed and allow it time to recover.
