Giant Jungle Val (Vallisneria Americana) "Boss of Planted Tanks"
STOP: These will show up brownish RED as they were grown in FULL SUN. THEY WILL MELT BACK as your tanks probably aren't full sun. They will come back stronger
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.
Customer Reviews
Still have my Vallisneria Americana plant since 11/10/2020 it’s not looking too good but still surviving!
Love plants I purchased and customer service is awesome , happy with this company. Thank you for your care .
I purchased the Giant Jungle Val, and I'm very happy with it. It is growing very well and fast. Definitely recommend purchasing it. I'll be buying more to fill the back of my 65 gallon aquarium.
Why? Because the quality is always top notch. As usual large healthy established plants. PLUS..... Dustin is the most honest retailer I know of. You always know exactly what to expect when ordering. I was waiting for the Jungle Val to become available and when it does he states in the plant description (in bold face) that the plants will be brownish red and may melt back and explains why! Can't beat that!
Not very pleased with the plants , usually good but this wasn’t good , oh well
