Aponogteon Natans is an aquatic bulb plant with long green wavy leaves that originally comes from stagnant waters in India and Sri Lanka. Like most Aponogeton species, this particular aquatic plant can grow quite large, making it a great addition as a background plant focal plant.

Half of the bulb should be buried into the substrate to facilitate growth. Avoid completely burying the bulb as this can promote bulb rot.
