Aponogeton Natans Live Aquarium Plant – Easy Green Aquatic Plant

Aponogeton natans is an attractive live aquarium plant with slender green leaves that create natural height and movement in freshwater aquariums. As it matures, it may produce longer stems and leaves that reach toward or rest along the water’s surface.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully place the roots into the substrate while leaving the crown and upper portion of the bulb exposed. Do not completely bury the crown or bulb, as this may cause rot. Allow enough open space for the plant’s leaves to spread as it grows.

TRANSITION EXPECTATIONS

Some older leaves may soften, yellow or melt after shipping while the plant adjusts to your aquarium. This is normal. Remove declining leaves near the base and allow time for fresh submerged growth to develop.

BENEFICIAL ITEMS AVAILABLE IN OUR SHOP

• Root Tabs: Supply nutrients directly through the substrate and are especially beneficial in sand, gravel or nutrient-poor setups.
• Plant Weights: Help keep newly planted aquarium plants securely anchored while their roots become established.

Live plants naturally vary in size, shape and leaf condition. Minor imperfections or temporary leaf loss may occur during shipping and adjustment.
