Common Name: Aponogeton Longiplumulosus
Aponogeton Longiplumulosus is a tall bulb plant that originates from Madagascar. The leaves are long and thin with ruffled edges, almost like a cross between Aponogeton and Cryptocoryne Balansae. It makes a wonderful background addition for larger aquariums and can grow to the surface of your aquarium. Like other Aponogeton bulbs, this plant is quite hardy and does well in a wide range of water parameters.
Half of the bulb should be buried into the substrate to facilitate growth. Avoid completely burying the bulb as this can promote bulb rot.

"Love these plants. First one has grown in nicely. So well I just ordered 2 more. See all three. The two recent purchases came in with very healthy leaves and LOTS of roots."
"Bought 2 of the A. longiplumulosus and both were very nice with numerous 5”+ leaves and enough root development that they stayed put. Delivery was fast and plants were healthy and well packed."
"The plants arrived very healthy. I've had an established 120g for some time. I've been growing mostly Anubias and Java Fern. I finally decided to go CO2 and bought a few plants to start out with. I had a lot of trouble trying to plant these since I can't reach the bottom of the tank and have to use an 18" pinsettes. Between trying to place the plant upright and having to grab it multiple times with the pinsettes before it floated away, I lost a lot of leaves and accidently poked or scraped the bulb a zillion times. I finally got the two I bought planted and was sure they wouldn't survive due to the extreme damage. A week later I couldn't believe these plants looked healthy. It's been 3 weeks now and the few leaves that did survive have almost doubled in size and there's probably 4 or 5 new leaves sprouting from each bulb. Of all the different plants I bought, these are growing the fastest. Even though it's a struggle for me to plant these, I plan to order more because I'm so impressed at how well they have grown under the stressful conditions I put them under."
"Amazing plant! Love it and it's growing quickly after a very slight melt back. Looks neat planted in the back of my tank."
"What a lovely plant! Arrived in healthy condition and weeks later it is establishing itself well in my tank. Very cool. I love how it flows with the water current and adds a layer of visual interest. Would buy again."
"The plant arrived alive and healthy (paid for the fastest shipping and insulation box during the summer). The only reason why I took a point off is that the plant was really small, and considering how much I paid for it, I was really expecting something more substantial."
"Had some melt but nothing out of the ordinary. Looks great after a couple weeks."
"Came in looking healthy. Melted at first but has come jamming back. Great leaf texture"
"It looked like it would have been a great plant. Unfortunately, with colder Temps in my area, the leaves melted."
"Came in with several leaves. Very little melt. I'm hoping it will grow more leaves now that it is in my tank."
