Aponogeton ulvaceus is one of the most beautiful species in the
Aponogeton family. The leaves are delicate light-green and transparent with
fluted margin. A single root can produce more than 40 leaves. This means that
the plant is best as a solitary plant in large aquariums. It is relatively
tolerant, and thrives in both soft and hard water, particularly if CO2
is added. There are many varieties of Aponogeton ulvaceus, some of which
need a dormant period when the root does not produce leaves.
