Nursing My Plants Back To Health

[barb-e]

yes this question is posted under a different title but wasn't getting any attention so here it goes...

I've been looking for the perfect plant for my aquarium for a while. My top choices were pennywort and jungle val. I guess they're both really popular because I couldn't find either. Finally I found some jungle val but it was beaten up, yellow and pretty ravaged. I bought it anyway in desperation. Right now its about 3 inches tall. Will I be able to nurse it back to life so that it will grow healthily to the top of my tank?

Yes it should recover if giving appropriate lighting and ferts. Co2 would also speed up growth.
Vallis loves water with a high KH. I had to throw mine out because it grew so quick and sent out so many plantlets. In a week it reduced my KH from 16 to 5!

I agree with RadaR. Vals are resilient plants. I'd like to add a little something though.
Add root tabs or pellet ferts around the roots. This should help as well.
I have thrown out tones of Vals myself.
