Description: 6 Jungle Vals Italian Val Vallisneria Live Aquarium Plants This listing is for: Plant/Stems Included: 6 Stems Size: 10-15 Inches Jungle vals (Vallisneria americana) also known as water celery, eelgrass and tape grass are a hardy, freshwater plants that are part of the tape-grasses family. It was one of the earliest aquatic plants used in the hobby, and remains very popular to this day. Jungle vals prefer slow moving water, and it primarily inhabits lakes, ponds, and streams. It normally grows in shallow water, and it's rarely found in depths greater than ten feet. It forms vast forests with its long ribbon leaves, which act as a refuge for numerous species of fish and invertebrates. Jungle vals are incredibly hardy, and can adapt to most water conditions. With that being said, they are one of the few plants that prefer hard, alkaline water and may experience slower growth in soft, acidic water. They are also one of the few plants that can tolerate brackish water, though this will negatively impact their growth rate and propagation. When choosing a substrate, either gravel or sand are acceptable. This plant doesn't require the addition of any CO2 to its aquarium.However, while no CO2 is required, they do benefit from the addition of an iron rich fertilizer. Fertilizer should be added to the tank water on a weekly basis, and it's usually best to add it after a weekly water change. Jungles vals do best under high lighting, though they will adapt to moderate lighting - with significantly slowed growth rates. The leaves should never be trimmed on this plant, and if the leaves are damaged in any way, they will usually just rot away and foul the water. If the leaves absolutely have to be trimmed, they should be trimmed with very sharp scissors. The leaf will sometimes survive this type of trimming without dying Care Level: Very Easy Water Conditions: 6.0 -9.0 pH and Moderately Hard to Very Hard Temperature: 64-82°F (18-28°C) Quantity: 6 rooted plants.
