Low light, no CO2; root tabs help. Leaves can melt after planting but regrow from the roots in a few weeks.

The Plant
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' is an easy rosette crypt with green leaves, about 10 to 30 cm tall and 8 to 15 cm across. With open space around it, the leaves spread out almost flat on the substrate. It fits nearly any tank, copes with shade from taller plants, and does well in hard water like other crypts from Sri Lanka.

Comes as a Tropica tissue culture cup: grown in lab gel, so it arrives free of snails, algae, pests and pesticides. Rinse off the gel and split it into small portions to plant.

Plant Care
Type: Rosette
Origin: Asia
Growth rate: Medium
Height: 10 to 30+ cm (after about two months)
Light: Low
CO2: Low

Planting Tips
Plant it in the substrate, even in the shade of bigger plants. Crypts feed mostly through their roots, so add root tabs nearby.

Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
Crypts grow slowly and stay put. Shrimp graze the biofilm on the leaves and hide underneath them.
