One of many vallisneria variety. A common problem when planting vallisneria sp is the leaves initially tend to break off. This is normal as the plant is acclimating from the great stress of being transported and re-planted. Watch out for K and Ca deficiency as the leaves are prone to develop holes and tears when lacking of minerals. Once it settles in, the gigantea variety grow very tall. Pruning is by cutting the excess top part. Propagate from runners. Do not severe from the motherplant until it reached usable size.
