Planting tips

Plant the roots gently in aquarium substrate without burying the growing crown. Some Aponogeton plants naturally slow their growth or enter a resting phase; avoid discarding a healthy bulb or tuber simply because older leaves have died back. Leaf size and colour depend on aquarium conditions.
