✂️ Care
Plant the Vallisneria with the crown (growth point) just above the substrate in sand or fine gravel. The plant spreads via underground runners — give it ample space. Always trim overly long leaves at the base, never halfway. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth. Please note: Vallisneria is sensitive to glutaraldehyde (Excel) — do not use this in combination with Vallisneria.
💡 Planting tip
Plant each species in a compact group of 5–10 stems for a lush curtain effect. Mix the species for a varied, natural look in the background.

My leaves turn brown after trimming — what am I doing wrong?
