Jungle Valisnaria Asiatica Contortion Bunch

Jungle Vallisneria Asiatica 'Contortion' - Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant (Bunch)

Jungle Vallisneria Asiatica 'Contortion' is a hardy, fast-growing freshwater aquarium plant prized for its long, twisted ribbon-like leaves. Unlike standard Vallisneria, the Contortion variety features naturally curled and spiraled foliage that adds movement, height, and a wild jungle appearance to planted aquariums.

Sold as a live bunch, this plant roots easily in substrate and quickly establishes itself, making it an excellent background plant for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Key Features

Naturally Twisted Leaves:
Long, narrow leaves grow with unique curls and contortions, creating flowing motion in the aquarium.

Fast-Growing Background Plant:
Rapid vertical growth makes it ideal for filling background areas and adding depth.

Hardy & Beginner-Friendly:
Thrives in a wide range of freshwater conditions with minimal care.

Natural Propagation:
Spreads by runners once established, forming new plantlets over time.

Care Instructions

Lighting:
Low to moderate lighting is sufficient; higher light encourages faster growth.

Water Conditions:
• Temperature: 68-82°F (20-28°C)
• pH Range: 6.5-8.0

Placement:
Best planted in the background. Insert roots into substrate, leaving the crown above the surface.

CO₂ & Fertilization:
CO₂ is optional, not required. Root tabs or nutrient-rich substrate support healthy growth.

Maintenance:
Trim older or overly tall leaves as needed to control height.

Propagation
Jungle Vallisneria spreads naturally through runners. New plants can be separated and replanted once established.

Perfect For

• Beginner and advanced aquarists

• Low-tech and high-tech aquariums
