As soon as the shoots reach the water surface, they should be cut back by half. A tiered arrangement of the stems is recommended.

Vallisneria australis Gigantea - Giant vallis
Vallisneria australis Gigantea (Giant swamp spurge) max. growth height - 200 cm Country of origin Australia Suitability Perch aquarium, discus aquarium, community aquarium Type  Rosette plant family Hydrocharitaceae Genus Vallisneria Propagation Stolons Growth rate medium pH 6 - 9 Water hardness 25 - 30 °dh Notes   The giant vallisneria is a very variable aquatic plant that is native to Australia. Its long, narrow leaves can take on gigantic proportions in good conditions, and leaf lengths of up to 3 metres are not uncommon. The giant vallisneria is very popular in discus aquariums and aquariums for East African cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. These fish require harder water, which is problematic for many plants. Vallisneria australis 'Giganta', however, prefers these water values.

The wavy leaf edges are very decorative and show to best effect in calm plantings, e.g. in combination with Mayaca moss. A. longiplumulosus can be kept in the aquarium for years.

The species name “nana” means: dwarf. However, the plant only exhibits this growth behaviour in its natural habitat in Australia. In our aquaria, the plants can reach lengths of 30-70 cm. This very narrow-leaved species is therefore more suitable for the background. Cultivation and care are very simple, but here too it is important to control the growth of the runners. CO2-applications additionally promote the growth of all Vallisnerias.
