Description
Cryptocoryne 'Flamingo' is a standout cultivar prized for its delicate pink hues and ruffled, lance-shaped leaves. Unlike most crypts, this one doesn’t play it safe with greens and browns—it brings a unique rosy flair to your aquascape. Though slower growing, it’s a showstopper in foreground and midground settings, especially in high-tech tanks with strong lighting and CO₂.
Care and Planting Directions
This variety thrives best in nutrient-rich substrate with stable CO₂ and medium to high lighting to maintain its vibrant pink color. It grows slowly and can be sensitive to changes, so avoid disturbing once planted. Ideal for highlight placement or aquascaping focal points.
