Description
Cryptocoryne undulatus is a time-tested favorite among aquarists for its attractive, undulating leaf margins and ease of care. Its leaves range in color from light green to reddish-brown, depending on lighting and substrate. This mid-sized crypt adds gentle motion and texture to midground and background areas without requiring special conditions.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant directly in a nutrient-rich substrate and provide steady lighting. It may go through a short adjustment period ("crypt melt") when first introduced but recovers quickly. Works well in low-tech or high-tech setups.
