Description
Cryptocoryne spiralis 'Tiger' is a visually striking variety that features long, narrow leaves marked with dark tiger-like stripes. These olive to reddish-bronze leaves bring vertical contrast and wild energy to the background of your aquascape. It’s an ideal choice for taller tanks or natural layouts needing a dramatic, low-maintenance accent.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant in a nutrient-rich substrate and provide medium lighting to help develop its vibrant striping. Like other crypts, it may go through a melt phase when introduced to a new tank but recovers with stability. Optional CO₂ will enhance growth and color, but isn’t required.
