Care Tips: Vallisneria Spiralis is a popular and resilient aquatic plant that is widely used in aquariums for its tall, elegant leaves that can form dense clumps. It thrives in medium to high lighting and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water conditions (pH 6.0–8.0). Vallisneria Spiralis is relatively easy to care for and is well-suited for beginners. It grows moderately to quickly, making it an excellent plant for absorbing excess nutrients from the water, helping to reduce algae growth. It is best placed in the background or midground, especially in larger tanks, due to its height. While it does well in a variety of substrates, it performs best in nutrient-rich soil or fine gravel. Since it is a fast-growing plant, regular pruning is recommended to prevent it from overtaking the tank. Vallisneria Spiralis is a great oxygenator and will contribute to overall water quality. It propagates by runners, so be mindful of its spread. This plant requires little maintenance, but be sure to avoid burying the rhizome, as it can hinder growth.
