Aponogeton boivinianus

About This Plant

Along with many of the other Aponogeton sp. used in the aquarium plant trade, Florida Aquatic Nurseries grows Aponogeton boivinianus . Aponogeton boivinianus is native to the island nation of Madagascar. Aponogeton boivinianus is an excellent focal point in a planted aquarium, displaying long, dark green leaves that have a hammered texture. Aponogeton boivinianus are bulb plants and will sometimes go dormant. Just be patient and new leaves will begin to sprout. Sometimes it is helpful to take the bulb out of the aquarium for a resting period and keep it stored in moist sand until leaves begin to sprout. Then plant the Aponogeton bulb back into the aquarium.
