Care Guide for Italian Vallisneria Spiralis
Vallisneria Spiralis is very adaptable and can be kept in a wide range of aquarium conditions, including coldwater aquariums. It's a good plant for beginners and new setups because of its rapid growth. The plant does particularly well in hard water, and it does not require strong light.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 70-82°F
- Tank Placement: Background
Because Vallisneria can grow tall, the best placement of V. Spiralis in your aquarium is in the background or around the corners/edges of the aquarium. If provided with good conditions, this plant is a fast grower and will produce many new plants from runners.

Some came bad but otherwise ok
Posted by Daniel Best on 2 Apr 2024I didn't realize that these plants would be shipped from Florida. I saw the store was in NY so I thought there would be less time in the shipping box and the plants might show up better looking. Unfortunately I was wrong. Anyway, on to the plants. They came with a few bad leaves but I trimmed them, washed them and put planted them in my tank. We'll see how well they grow.
