Vals tend to want to do one of two things, send out runners, or grow tall.
If you want them to grow tall, split the plants into singles.

Hi! Can someone help me with selecting the Vallisneria species that grows
really fast (coz I am really impatient)? Right now, I have Val spiralis
and
it seems like it's taking forever to grow tall, although within the first
week I have tons of runners from the plants. I want the background
properly
covered :-) Please help! Thanks!
