Care Tips: Vallisneria Rubra is a beautiful variation of the Vallisneria species, characterized by its reddish-brown leaves that add color and texture to aquascapes. It thrives in medium to high lighting and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water conditions (pH 6.0–8.0). This plant can grow to a height of 30–50 cm, making it suitable for the background of aquariums. Vallisneria Rubra grows moderately to quickly and requires a nutrient-rich substrate to support its growth. It also benefits from CO2 supplementation and regular pruning to prevent it from spreading too much. The plant propagates via runners, so it’s important to manage its spread to avoid overcrowding other plants. Vallisneria Rubra is a great plant for beginners and advanced aquascapers alike, as it is relatively easy to care for and provides excellent water filtration. Its unique red tones and long, ribbon-like leaves create a stunning contrast in aquascapes, making it an ideal addition to any planted tank.
