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.

Care & Maintenance for Contortion Val

V. Asiatica is a hardy and highly adaptable plant that will grow well in most water conditions. It does not require, but will welcome, high lightning conditions. We suggest planting it in a fine gravel substrate for faster acclimation and plant growth. This plant has strong roots that will hold fast even with bottom-dwelling fish.

  • Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate

  • Tank Placement: Background

This corkscrew vallisneria propagates through runners.

    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.

    These plants were really nice when they arrived. I followed all instructions carefully and then put them in my tank … I’m not sure if they are gonna make it. Going to give it some more time though.
