Description
Contortion Val (Vallisneria Asiatica)
Vallisneria Asiatica, also known as corkscrew vallisneria, originates from Japan. It is a very attractive plant with tightly twisted light green leaves that make for an interesting and unique appearance. V. Asiatica looks best and has the most visual impact when planted in close groups of 6-10 bunches — or even more!
At Modern Aquarium, we recommend the corkscrew vallisneria plant for background planting. Learn more about care and maintenance before ordering this plant for your tank.

Posted by Jennifer on 13 Sep 2021These plants were really nice when they arrived. I followed all instructions carefully and then put them in my tank … I’m not sure if they are gonna make it. Going to give it some more time though.
