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, click here.
  • CO2 injection will yield better growth.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Happy with my purchase

"Plants came in super healthy and super well packaged! The roots were cut off, possibly to help with melting back. It doesn’t bother me, but it is something to keep in mind when you’re purchasing. All in all, a good experience!"

— Myra (4/5)
