Aponogeton ulvaceus

Aponogeton ulvaceus is one of the most beautiful species in the Aponogeton-family. The leaves are delicate light-green and transparent with fluted margin. A single root can produce more than 40 leaves. This means that the plant is best as a solitary plant in large aquariums. It is relatively tolerant, and thrives in both soft and hard water, particularly if CO₂ is added. There are many varieties of Aponogeton ulvaceus, some of which need a dormant period when the root does not produce leaves.
