Cryptocoryne crispatula in cup - Tropica

Aquarius plant from crops in vitro in closed cup.

The Cryptocoryneat crispula var. balansae comes from the limestone mountains of southern Thailand, where water can be very hard. It is not particularly demanding, but appreciates a substrate rich in nutrients and good lighting. Like many other Cryptocoryne, it needs a period of acclimatization before starting to grow seriously.

The leaves reach a length of 20-60 cm and the single rosette plant becomes 15-20 cm wide. It is recommended to place it in the back of the aquarium, where the leaves can float elegantly on the surface of the water. The leaves can be completely green or brown.
