Vallisneria Italian

Bring classic, natural beauty to your aquarium with Vallisneria Italian, also known as Italian Vallisneria or Straight Vallisneria. This hardy background plant features long, ribbon-like leaves that sway gracefully in the water, creating a lush, flowing effect that fish and shrimp love to swim through. Each bunch includes 3-4 healthy plants, ideal for adding instant greenery and vertical movement to your aquascape.

Vallisneria Italian is one of the most reliable aquarium plants available. It thrives in a wide range of conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a low-maintenance oxygenator. Once established, it spreads easily by runners, forming a dense, vibrant underwater forest that helps absorb excess nutrients and improve water quality.

Care Guidelines:

• Lighting: Low to high

• Placement: Background

• Temperature: 68–82°F

• pH Range: 6.5–8.0

• Growth Rate: Fast

• Propagation: Runners

Important Note:
It’s common for Vallisneria leaves to melt or soften after first being planted. This is a natural adjustment period as the plant acclimates to its new environment. Simply trim away any melted leaves — new growth will emerge from the crown within days to weeks, resulting in a fuller, healthier stand of Vallisneria.

Why Choose Vallisneria Italian:

• Classic, ribbon-leaf background plant for aquariums

• Hardy and perfect for beginners

• Excellent oxygenator and nutrient absorber

• Provides shelter and natural cover for fish and shrimp

Includes: 3–4 individual Vallisneria Italian plants per bunch. Space each piece a few inches apart in the substrate to allow room for runners to spread naturally.
