Aponogeton elongatus

Aponogeton elongatus is native to the rivers of Queensland, Australia, making it a rare Australasian aquarium plant. It grows from a starchy corm, sending up long, narrow, slightly undulating leaves in pale to medium green. It is an adaptable species tolerating both warm tropical and cooler subtropical temperatures, growing vigorously in medium-light conditions without CO2 supplementation. It will flower in the aquarium, producing a single-branched spike above the water surface. Like most Aponogetons it benefits from periodic dormancy to maintain long-term vigour.
