Aponogeton Boivinianus

Aponogeton boivinianus

Family: Aponogetonaceae

Ask Finn

One of the most dramatic Aponogeton species, producing enormous leaves up to 60 cm long with distinctively hammered, dark green texture and strong midrib. A true specimen plant for large aquariums. It requires cooler periods to trigger dormancy and re-growth. Leaves arch gracefully, creating a bold backdrop in large layouts.
