Common Name: Giant Val

Giant Val is a larger variant of the popular Vallisneria.  They act as the perfect background plants, growing tall and fast to create a jungle-like appearance.  Vals are grass-like plants that spread along with side 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.

Reviews

Disappointed with the roots. Ordered

"Disappointed with the roots. Ordered 3 packs of 4 plants and out of the 12 individual plants, only 4 arrived with any roots. The 4 that did have them were so tangled and grown through the foam that they broke when removed the foam."

— Austin B. (3/5)

1st plants arrived!!

"Packaged great and arrived quickly. So far all plants are doing well. All arrived in great health."

— Jason M. (5/5)

New Val

"Overall, the val arrived in pretty good shape. Had to trim the tips off most leaves as they'd gone brown. They're planted now so we'll see how they do!"

— James R. (4/5)

— Ron N. (5/5)

Healthy and look great!

"Healthy and look great!"

— Kevin R. (5/5)

Solid roots and base, lightly shredded at tops

"The plant structure was solid at the base, where 3/4 of the plant groups in the package had roots about 3-4 inches long, one of them having shorter roots. 4/5 stars only because the tops of these plants looked and felt torn up or shredded. I've never bought this, nor any other aquarium plant from any store, but I will say that BP is the only place I'll be shopping anytime soon."
