In favourable conditions it can form very large leaves (up to 80cm long and 8cm wide). The oldest leaves are deep dark-green, while younger leaves are light-green and sometimes brownish until they are fully developed. In the wild Aponogeton boivinianus is found in fast-flowing water and it prefers some flow in the aquarium water. It needs a dormant period when the root does not produce leaves.
