I think you will find the article and other links informative http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Plants/apons-randall.html These plants require a "rest period." In the wild, this is when the water temperature drops to 62-64 degrees during the months of December to February.

The leaves are translucent,bright green with a narrowed leaf base. The leaves aretypical 20-50 cm long (occasionally up to 100 cm atoptimum growth conditions), 3-10 cm broad and wavy on thesides. The primary form of Aponogeton ulvaceusis rather rare, and most available plants are hybrids. Asmany other Aponogetons this plant requires aperiod of rest. In winter cut off the roots and leavesand put it into unwashed sand in flowerpots in cold waterfor two months in a dark place. Or less circumstantial,place the tuber in a flowerpot on the windowsill togetherwith a ordinary plant which never dries out. Afterthis period of rest, put it back into the tank. Author: Tropica As you can see you will have to provide plenty of care with this plant.
