Common name: Aponogeton Natans

Aponogteon Natans is an aquatic bulb plant with long green wavy leaves that originally comes from stagnant waters in India and Sri Lanka. Like most Aponogeton species, this particular aquatic plant can grow quite large, making it a great addition as a background plant focal plant. With optimal care, Aponogeton Natans flowers frequently and is a great additional to planted aquariums.

Half of the bulb should be buried into the substrate to facilitate growth. Avoid completely burying the bulb as this can promote bulb rot. 

Notes:

  • Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
  • Aponogeton grows fairly large making this aquarium plant suitable for larger planted aquariums. 
  • Please be sure to remove this plant from its lead bunch. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep "bunched" aquarium plants, click here.
  • CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

"Excellent quality, some tissue cultures were sparse but healthy!!!"

— Michael A. (5/5)

Doing well so far

"Haven't even had the 3 different varieties of aponogeton for 2 weeks yet, but all 3 (including the Natans) are doing great with new growth. They just seemed to explode when added to my aquarium."

— Todd P. (5/5)

Came in bad condition.

"Plant came in with brown leaves that all fell of withing days of planting. Am waiting for any new growth and hoping they wont rot away on me. Overall disappointed with the plant and the company."

Very Happy

"Plants came very healthy. Couldn't be more pleased."

— Adam M. (5/5)

Came nice, but seem slow in growing

"Got nice bulbs with a good piece of plant grown, so thought I would see a lot of melt back. Never did, stayed stable and hardy. Just seems to grow really slowly with the lighting I had. Getting new leaves only a couple inches a month or so. Can't wait to see how well they grow with my newer light."
