Aponogeton crispus looks good in any aquarium with its light-green, transparent leaves. It makes few demands, although growth is always best in soft, slightly acidic water with a nutritious bottom. In such conditions the plant produces a mass of leaves, and it flowers very frequently in optimum conditions. A. crispus is generally found in ponds that are only filled with water in the rainy season, but it does not need a dormant period in the aquarium.
