Aponogeton ulvaceus

• Aponogeton ulvaceus is one of the most beautiful bulb species in the Aponogeton-family and originates from Madagascar.

• The leaves are delicate light-green and transparent with fluted margin. A single root can produce more than 40 leaves, 30-60 cm long. This means that the plant is best as a solitary plant in large aquariums (the plant becomes up to 50 cm wide).

• It is relatively tolerant, and thrives in both soft and hard water, particularly if CO2 is added.

• There are many varieties of Aponogeton ulvaceus, some of which need a dormant period, when the root does not produce leaves.
