Aponogeton henkelianus originally comes from Madagascar. It is also known as "Lace Plant" because its leaves have a lace or lattice pattern. In the care it is rather difficult and not an easy task even for advanced aquarium keepers. It prefers a stronger current and cooler water below 25°C. In addition, attention should be paid to an adequate supply of nutrients with the addition of CO2.
