A staple in any beginner tank. This plant is just like regular jungle val except I find it to be alot better looking and hardier. This plant is a very easy and hardy plant that can go in almost any type of tank.The leaves of this plant can get upwards of 6' long so its good for any tank especially big ones. It will shot out runners along the substrate which you can trim off and replant else where in the tank. One thing to note when you get it in your tank most of the older leaves will melt, this is normal. Look to see if there is new growth coming up within a few days that is a sign the plants going to be ok.
