Description
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' is a classic choice for planted aquariums thanks to its undemanding nature and vibrant, ruffled green leaves. This freshwater plant adapts well to a variety of water parameters and thrives even in low light. Great for beginners and pros alike, it adds rich texture to midground or foreground layouts.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant directly into nutrient-rich substrate. It may experience “crypt melt” when introduced to a new tank, but it recovers quickly with stable conditions. Avoid disturbing the roots once planted.
