Leaves of V. asiatica var . Bivaensis curl in the shape of a corkscrew; They are ribbon-shaped and really are strongly twisted. In medium hardness water or hard (they do not tolerate soft stiffness) they reach a length of 20-25 cm, the maximum width of the leaf blade being 8 cm. Accordingly, this plant can be used in medium and large aquariums on the sides or in the middle. It loves a nutrient-rich soil. When individual sheets are covered with yellow dots, this, in all probability, indicates their death. If you do not like the spot, you can cut off the leaves. Propagated by layers.
