Jungle Val [Vallisneria Americana]

Description:

Jungle Vallisneria (Vallisneria Americana) is a classic and hardy aquatic plant loved by aquascapers for its tall, ribbon-like leaves and low-maintenance care. Ideal for background placement, this plant creates a lush, forest-like wall of greenery that enhances the natural beauty of any freshwater aquarium.

Its long, flowing leaves provide shelter for shy fish and fry, promoting a calm and natural environment. Jungle Val adapts well to a variety of water conditions, making it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. When first introduced to a new tank, it may shed older leaves as it adjusts—this is normal and temporary, as new, healthy growth will quickly emerge.
