 With growing habits similar to the various types of Sagittaria, Jungle Val (Vallisneria gigantea) is the bigger, more robust version of these grass-like plants. Strap-like leaves can grow up to three feet long from a central node, and send out other little daughter plantlets readily.

Best for larger tanks, and planted towards the back!

Jungle val needs to be trimmed to ship decently; Yours will be 4-8" long

Grown SUBMERGED

Pack of three nodes.

Growing requirements:

  • 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
  • Ph 6-8
  • Low to Medium light intensity.
  • quick growth speed

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

 Cassandra's notes:

Jungle Val is pretty famous for two things: being HUGE and melting back almost completely in a new environment. It's just one of those weird plant behaviors that is otherwise totally normal. Expect it!

A couple things you can do to help it along; Keep your light a little brighter than usual, remove dead mushy leaves promptly, and bury the roots with some good fertilizer. Once it regrows even thicker, you won't be able to stop this monster :P
