Propagation: Runners, Easy, Self Propagates in Good Conditions
Difficulty: Very Easy Provided Simple Demands Met
Rarity: Very Rare in Trade
Comments:
A very unusual and hard to get hold of Vallis species and colour strain.
Hardy and easy to grow.
This species has very long, thick, kinky bright green leaves with colourful red-brown tips
Although it can grow up to 1 m long it rarely grows to that size in the aquarium, it likes to have it's leaves trailing along the surface downstream of a gentle filter outlet.
It is quite tough and usually left alone by fish (including big Goldfish and even some Plecs!!!).
When planting trim roots back slightly and carefully cut off any dead/damaged leaves, be careful to dig a big enough hole for the roots, place plant in hole and fill in around crown gently, then very gently tug upwards by leaves until crown is slightly ABOVE substrate and plant is held in place by roots, which should also be aligned pointing downwards by this same process.
Burying the crown of this plant (or planting it bunched in lead!) is virtually guaranteed to make it rot.
Forms dense clumps in good conditions, if these clumps get too overcrowded, thin out some of the plants and spread them out.
