Giant Jungle Val (Vallisneria Americana) "Boss of Planted Tanks"
NOTE: The photos labeled "AS OF 7/17/26" is currently what the plant looks like that we are selling. THEY ARE HUGE!
So there is Jungle Val and then there is Vallisneria Americana
WE GROW THIS ENTIRELY IN HOUSE.... IN 8X8 foot basins....
Again
THIS PLANT MIGHT MELT BACK ON YOU. -This is what Val does, but this species does the hardest... but then grown back thicker. (It has to have it's leaves adjust to different water temps.) Faster than most plants- Val rebounds quickly.
You will get a THICK TALL PLUG with great roots.
You might get it with a redish tint to it. That's what happens when you grow most val on the edge of too much light.... Hey- we are happy about it...and so is the plant :)
Read our reviews!
Currently it is about a half inch thick...but will grow in time to be about an inch across.
This is the good stuff. This is the Giant Stuff. Do you have a tall tank? Vallisneria Americana is your answer! Giant Jungle Val doesn't adapt quite as fast as the other varieties like contortion val or corkscrew. It has thicker leaves, which once they get rolling are going to need trimmed back. I am excited to be offering this plant as long as I get it. One order is 4 stems about a feet long with perhaps a few runners starting. (This is an easy to keep plant, that prefers a good substrate but I have seen it grown in sand)
This plant is THE Background plant for a HUGE Aquarium....
Don't forget the Growth Juice... Our hot selling fertilizer is how we keep our val from melting back too quickly....or at all.
(Make sure and check out our VAL Nana if you want the OPPOSITE of this plants...a Skinny Vallisneria)
We also have a Spiral "Val torta" worth checking out.

Best of the best. Never disappointed. Great roots, runners, 24 inches +
I purposely order the extra large jungle Val from Dustin’s. It’s the biggest, longest , healthiest I’ve ever gotten, even spreading out once established. This time I got it for a 35 gallon cube so it not only acts as a plant under water for the fish to swim and hide in, but trails along the top of the tank also acting as floaters .
GIant should be all caps! Plants arrived quickly and despite the ice pack thawing out from the 90+ temps, they appeared very healthy with great roots! These 2-3 ft tall plants have turned my 75g community into a jungle, literally. The Java Fern plants were healthy and mature as well! As always, awesome plants and value from Dustin's Fish Tanks when compared to my LFS! Highly recommended!!!
Stunning great plants.
All I want to say is….yezzz zirrrr!
