The Aponogeton ulvaceus is a very large aquatic plant with leaves that grow in a twisted, curly manner. Its bright green leaves are slightly semi-transparent and grow from a long, hardy stem that emerges from the bulb.

It is considered an easy-to-maintain aquatic plant and can tolerate a wide range of water parameters. Like most Aponogeton species, Aponogeton ulvaceus grows extensively and is suitable for larger planted aquariums.

Half of the bulb should be buried in the substrate to facilitate growth. Avoid completely burying the bulb, as this can promote bulb rot.
