Italian Val (Vallisneria spiralis) is one of the hardiest and most widespread of the Vallisnerias. It has straight green leaves and are great at creating a jungle-like appearance in your aquarium. Vals are grass-like plants that spread along with side shoots and can grow to the height of your aquarium. They are heavy root feeders so it is advised to plant them in a nutrient-rich substrate or to supplement nutrients with root tabs.
NOTE: each portion comes as a bunch of 2-3 nodes
