Aponogetons are larger growing aquatic bulbs that Bettas just love!
Aponogeton natans grows long, spear shaped leaves that love to float up to the surface like lily pads; long, thin lily pads!
They won't need anything special in terms of lighting, filtration, but they will benefit from a nutrient dense soil. Supplement with root tabs for the best result!
Aponogeton bulbs should only be buried about halfway, as any more than that could cause rot. They produce fuzzy white flower stalks that sprout up beyond the water's surface!
One ~1" bulb. We try to send it sprouting so it's not a dud!
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low to Medium light intensity.
- Heavy root feeder
- Medium growth speed
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
