Description
Contortion Val (Vallisneria Asiatica)
Vallisneria Asiatica, also known as corkscrew vallisneria, originates from Japan. It is a very attractive plant with tightly twisted light green leaves that make for an interesting and unique appearance. V. Asiatica looks best and has the most visual impact when planted in close groups of 6-10 bunches — or even more!
At Modern Aquarium, we recommend the corkscrew vallisneria plant for background planting. Learn more about care and maintenance before ordering this plant for your tank.

Contortion Val
I ordered 8 units of val. It came in when it was supposed to, and it arrived in as good of shape as you can hope ordering live aquatic plants through the mail. I will definitely order from Modern Aquarium again in the future.

Vallisneria Asiatica
Arrived quickly but the tips of most of the leaves had already started to melt. The roots were very healthy though and as soon as I saw new growth I cut back the old leaves and their growth has taken off.

The plant arrived in great shape! I was very pleased to see how healthy the plant was. After soaking it in room temperature for over 24 hours, I planted it in my aquarium. I hope it likes it’s new home.
