Aponogeton ulvaceus is one of the most beautiful species in the Aponogeton family. The leaves are delicate light-green and transparent with fluted margin. A single root can produce more than 40 leaves. This means that the plant is best as a solitary plant in large aquariums. It is relatively tolerant, and thrives in both soft and hard water, particularly if CO2 is added. There are many varieties of Aponogeton ulvaceus, some of which need a dormant period when the root does not produce leaves.

This plant is truly phenomenal. I ended up getting it in bulb form. I placed the bulb in a 5 gallon, low tech, non-c02 tank with only a 10 watt corallife colarmax compact fluorescent. The bulb produced huge leaves like there was no tomorrow. I had to keep pruning leaves weekly to keep the leaves from choking out the whole tank. While it is classified as being most suitable for a medium light tank, I highly question this, since it turned out to be a real tank buster in a low light tank.
