Vallisneria spiralis is a very attractive, yet hardy and undemanding plant that is ideal for the aquarium background. It is one of the most often-kept plant species in the aquarium hobby due to its ease of care and durability. It is a perfect background plant that will grow all the way to the top of the aquarium and it propagates prolifically. It makes little demands in the aquarium and can grow fast when conditions are optimal.

 

Straight Vallisneria is a member of the tapegrass plant family. It can grow over 20 inches (51 cm) tall and it provides valuable refuge for timid fish and fry, which will actually encourage those shy species to venture into the open more often. Straight Vallis should be planted with its crown above the substrate. It will establish strong roots and is unlikely to be uprooted by bottom-dwelling fish. Great for beginners and up. All species of Vallisneria do not tolerate liquid carbon, therefore we do not recommend adding these plants to any tank using liquid carbon. Some hobbyists mistake this plant to have spiral leaves like the name might suggest but it's actually the opposite and has very straight leaves. The word 'spiralis' is the scientific name that refers to the flower stalk that corkscrews as it grows.
