Vallisneria sp. Gigantea from Asia is an easy plant that grows fast, suitable for large aquariums. In most aquariums the leaves grow so long that they float on the surface (50-150 cm, 2 cm wide). So the plant needs pruning to prevent it from taking too much light from the plants growing below. The leaves are hard and strong, so they are normally not eaten by herbivorous fish.
The American Vallisneria spreads easily through runners, which are prolific if the bottom is nutritious.
