Description
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Brown Indo' is a richly colored variant native to Indonesia, featuring broad, crinkled leaves in chocolate to reddish-brown shades. It brings earthy depth to the midground of any aquascape and thrives in a wide range of conditions. Like other wendtii types, it's dependable, undemanding, and perfect for both beginners and seasoned aquascapers.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant in a nutrient-rich substrate and allow time to settle. It may melt initially when transitioning to a new tank, but bounces back with steady care. Stronger lighting will intensify its coloration, though it's very tolerant of low-tech setups.
