NOTES: Aponogeton Longiplumulosos is a self care kind of plant even though it can be a little difficult to keep. This is mostly a problem where there is not enought light and water circulation. Supplu a gentle current in the aquarium. Longiplumulosos flowers frequently in open aquaria with adequate lighting, although it is unlikely to produce seeds. The pink to violet and sometimes white double flowers are well worth a second look, seeds or no seeds. The plant will die back and observe a rest phase for some period, but then after a few weeks of dormancy, it will send out new leaves, all without help from the gardener. Longiplumulosos is relatively undemanding, and it makes no special demands on water quality.
