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.

This corkscrew vallisneria propagates through runners.

Healthy Plants
Posted by Judy Chandler on 20 Dec 2020The plants are doing well. Shipping was fast - plants were in transit for only 2 days, & I live in Calif. Ordered some plants from a company in Calif. & those are spending SEVEN days in transit. Not sure they'll arrive still living.

Nice!
Posted by Julia on 16 Dec 2020The plants I got seem very healthy. Though they aren't quite as bushy looking as the photo, unless I put both together. But either way, I'm satisfied with the order.

Posted by Hillary on 14 Dec 2020Plants arrived quickly, in great health and pest free. Now if my fish would just stop pulling them up before they have time to really root themselves in my gravel!

Excited to see these grow!
Posted by Connie Peterson on 28 Aug 2020I have purchased live aquarium plants from at least 5 other on line stores and these were the absolute cleanest, healthiest, biggest plants that I have ever received! Even in our high desert temperatures everything looked great and they are all thriving in my aquarium!
