Product description

About the species

This small Cryptocoryne comes from Asia and naturally grows in Thailand, for example. The narrow, reddish-brown leaves have clear black patterns and beautifully wavy leaf edges.

Each leaf grows to be approximately 1-3 cm wide and up to 15 cm long, giving the plant a light and elegant appearance that is easy to combine with other plants in the aquarium and provides beautiful contrasts.

Like many other Cryptocorynes, it can grow in many different conditions and thrives even in very poor light conditions. But under such conditions it grows only very slowly.
