Aponogeton boivinianus is one of the most
precious aquarium plants available. Given the right environmental conditions
this plant can grow very heavy and it is thus suitable for large tanks only.
On full-grown individuals, the petiole is up to 20 cm long and the length of
the blade up to 60 cm and 8 cm wide. The old leaves are dark green whereas
the younger are brighter green and sometimes brownish until fully developed. A.
boivinianus is a rather easy plant and it thrives well in a nutrient rich
substrate and in water ranging from weakly alkaline to acid and from medium
hard to soft. A. boivinianus is a stream plant and thus it likes some
water movements in the aquarium. Like many of the Aponogetons, A.
boivinianus requires a rest period once a year and we therefore recommend
keeping the plant in a pot so that the plant is easily removed from the tank.
Store the tuber in a cool and dry place for a couple of months before
replanting it into the aquarium.
