Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger'

Product description

About the species

Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger' from Asia is an excellent plant for beginners and thrives in almost all light and water conditions. The name 'Tiger' comes from its striped leaves (30-50 cm long, 1-2 cm wide).

The relatively short leaves make it suitable for small aquariums, and the leaves are also narrow, meaning they do not shade smaller plants. It easily forms shoots and is therefore easy to propagate. Plant Information: Type: Chair Origin: Asia Growth Rate: High Height: 20 - 30+ Light requirements: Low CO2: Low
