🌿 Red Jungle Val – Bronze-Red Ribbon Plant for Natural Backgrounds

Red Jungle Val (Valisneria americana var. rubra) brings a warm, earthy tone to your aquarium with its long, bronze-to-reddish-green ribbon leaves. It offers the same reliable, fast-spreading growth as traditional Jungle Val, but with a bold twist in color — perfect for adding natural contrast to your background or side layout.

This variety thrives in Father Fish–style dirted tanks, spreading via runners and pulling nutrients directly from the soil — no CO₂, no liquid ferts, no chemicals.

✅ No Bottled Fertilizers Needed – Naturally grown in rich soil
✅ Spreads by Runners – Builds natural, living walls over time
