Cryptocoryne Wendtii (Green)

Cryptocoryne Wendtii (Green)

Please note that crypts are well known in the hobby to initially melt when planted or moved. They are extremely hardy and should quickly bounce back with fresh leaves. The trick is to avoid the urge to mess with them once planted. 

Cryptocoryne Wendtii is a staple in the hobby. This variety tends to be mostly green though red, bronze, and other colors may also develop depending on your aquarium setup and water parameters. Cryptocoryne Wendtii is an easy category plant that will thrive in most aquariums without CO2 provided you have nutrients available within the water column or substrate and a light capable of growing plants. Their unique appearance make them a wonderful addition to any aquarium.

Crypts propagate by developing running daughter plants close to established mother plants. You can pull these runners off and relocate to slowly establish a beautiful patch of crypts.
