FAQ & PLANTING TIPS
How do I plant Thin Vallisneria?
Gently separate the stems. Using planting tweezers, plant each individual stem into your substrate (gravel or sand works fine), ensuring the crown (where the leaves meet the roots) is just above the substrate. Space them a few inches apart to allow runners to spread.
Will it grow in my low-tech tank?
Absolutely! Thin Vallisneria is an excellent choice for low-tech setups without CO2 injection. It will benefit from root tabs or liquid fertilizers but can often grow well without them.
How tall does it get?
It typically reaches heights of 10-20 inches, making it ideal for the mid-to-background of most aquariums. It will grow to fit the height of your tank.
Why are the leaves twisted?
The slightly twisted, corkscrew-like form of the leaves is a natural characteristic of the Vallisneria Torta species, giving it more texture and visual interest than straight Vallisneria varieties.
