  I grew it for a while. I had it in my 29G low-light tank (1 WPG)
  supplemented with Flourish & Flourish excel, plain gravel substrate for
  about a year. It didn't do very well - it would grow 3-4 leaves at a time,
  about 9" long.

  Then I put it in my 3 wpg, CO2, flourite substrate, heavily fertilized tank,
  and it absolutely took off - many leaves, most 20" or longer. I had to take
  it out because it was just too big.

  While it was in both tanks, it would periodically shoot up a flower. I never
  tried to do anything with propagating it, so I can't answer about that. Cool
  looking plant.

    Has anyone had success growing Aponogeton boivianus, if so what are the
  optimal aquarium conditions ie temp, ph, gh, light, substrate etc and any
  tips or suggestions to grow it successfully. Also can it be successfully
  propagated in a aquarium.

    Thanks

    Paul B
