With growing habits similar to the various types of Sagittaria, Jungle Val (Vallisneria gigantea) is the bigger, more robust version of these grass-like plants. Strap-like leaves can grow up to three feet long from a central node, and send out other little daughter plantlets readily.

Best for larger tanks, and planted towards the back!

Jungle val needs to be trimmed to ship decently; Yours will be 4-8" long

Grown SUBMERGED

Pack of three nodes.

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-8
• Low to Medium light intensity.
• quick growth speed

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

 Cassandra's notes:

Jungle Val is pretty famous for two things: being HUGE and melting back almost completely in a new environment. It's just one of those weird plant behaviors that is otherwise totally normal. Expect it!

A couple things you can do to help it along; Keep your light a little brighter than usual, remove dead mushy leaves promptly, and bury the roots with some good fertilizer. Once it regrows even thicker, you won't be able to stop this monster :P

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
