Vallisneria (also known as "val" or "straight vallisneria") has been a popular choice in the hobby because of its ease of care and long, grass-like appearance. Its hardiness makes it great for goldfish, African cichlid, and community tanks. Vallisneria grows very tall in an aquarium and can drape over the top to make fish and fry feel secure. Once well-established, val spreads quickly by sending out baby plants via runners where you can get a new shoot as soon as every 3 days.

We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge

We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.

How We Grow and Store Our Plants

We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.

Easy Planter

This natural, rock-like decoration is perfect for the lazy fishkeeper. Just add a root tab to the rockwool in the pot, drop the entire potted plant into the center hole of the Easy Planter, and place it in your aquarium. Works great with bare bottom tanks or fish that like to dig.

Plants arrived almost 36 hours after the 72 hour heat pack so they were dead on arrival

Just cant believe this place charged 11 dollars for a dead plant. Extremely disappointed in the clear quality cuts in this company. Shame on whoever packed this and actually thought someone would put it in their aquarium.

Arrived Ok

Waited around 10 days and arrived with a couple of brown leaves but roots look fine so we’ll see how well it does, apart from the bad leaves it looks really solid but expected better

Growing Great!

Same as the rest of my order, due to the weather and delayed shipping these did arrive melted, to be expected considering how fine leafed these plants are! After my one photo was taken I trimmed the leaves back a significant amount, and both of them are doing great with regrowth now. I have yet to move them into a permanent spot due to constantly rearranging the tank they’re in, but they’re doing great!!

Healthy plant!

I bought this Val in October and it has grown so much and bounced everywhere! I am so impressed!

What your not told

Visual Val is a beautiful plant however what not said is there's complete die back at first. When is arrived it was 50% dead and being in
a very warm bag it was potent smelling. After a good wash and planted into substrate the rest of the old foliage died back and followed by rapid new growth. So in the end I'm satisfied.

Amazing growth after one week!

After one week it has 3 distinct runners one of which is already 3” tall. I’m new to live aquarium plants and have never had success with them in the past. I’ve really enjoyed watching this one grow. Seeing visible growth each day!

Wow

This plant started making shoots from day 1, and a new shoot every day or every other day with a little easy green liquid fertilizer and easy root tabs. However, it did come with a few ramshorn snails.

Not growing

My valisnera is not growing. I have the root tabs and easy green liquid fertilizer.
They're probably about 4 inches.
They melted a little bit in the beginning and started growing, Then stopped everything everything else is growing. I put them towards the back of the tank. There's a few in front of the wood along the base.

It died

I got it and within like 3 days it went from huge to melted away.

Val struggling to take off, but healthy

I planted the single val plant I ordered in the back of the tank. It's not taken off nearly as fast as I hoped, but it's healthy and slowly sending out new runners and shoots. My medium-level lighting may be playing a factor into it's slower growth as it doesn't need to reach as high to reach the light. I've been able to replant a few of the shoots without issue too.

Substrate = Caribsea eco-complete
Water conditions: Ph 8.0. Very hard.

I love it!

I love the 2 vallisneria plants I ordered. It was a happy accident; as I thought a ordered a dwarf plant instead. My guppys have been dancing around it eating the algae.

Healthy and green

These arrived healthy and green. They are doing great in my newest 5 gallon crab tank. If I’m not mistaken after about 2-3 weeks they are sprouting runners for lateral expansion. They came packaged exceptionally well. Care was taken and is appreciated.
