Aponogeton capuronii is a tuberous aquatic plant from fast-flowing rivers in southeastern Madagascar, grown in aquariums and ponds. It needs warm, well-oxygenated water and a rest period when river levels drop.
Aponogeton capuronii (named after René Paul Raymond Capuron) is an aquatic plant found in southeastern Madagascar.
The species grows in rivers with fast-flowing water. In February 1968, Bogner discovered plants in the Mandromondromotra River (Madagascar) in a depth of 20–30 cm. When the author visited this location in December 1986, the river had a water level of nearly 2 m. The plants had hardly any juvenile leaves, which hinted at limited growth activity. Water values of this location were as follows: temperature 27.3 °C (air 30 °C at 13:30 h), pH 6.0, GH/KH < 1 °dH, Fe2+ = 0.05 mg/1, NOj not detectable. The substrate consisted of sand and gravel mixed with coarse, yellow clay.
