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. |
