READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Aponogeton Boivinianus is a rather large aquarium plant that is suitable for larger planted aquarium tanks. It is a bulb-type aquatic plant meaning that the bulb should be planted directly into planted aquarium substrate with the leaves exposed. Once established, this Aponogeton will start to develop large leaves up to 30” long! It’s older leaves will form a deep dark green coloration while younger leaves will mainly feature light green and sometimes brown hues until the plant is fully grown.
We recommend planting Aponogeton Boivinianus in nutrient-rich planted aquarium substrate such as Tropica Aquarium Soil or Aquario Neo Soil since this aquarium plant requires much more root fertilization than other aquatic plants. It is not uncommon for this Aponogeton to lose all it’s leaves while establishing itself in a new planted tank environment. However, it will quickly recover as long as the plant is provided with optimal conditions. In addition, it can thrive in fast-flowing planted aquariums making it a perfect candidate for a large river-themed biotope aquarium.
