Cryptocorine Flamingo, medium-sized plant with large reddish leaves, in large aquariums it is to be placed in the front area, instead in small aquariums in the back area. It creates beautiful bushes, hardly exceeds 20 cm tall, it is easier than to stay between 10 and 15 cm.
It is native to Southeast Asia, so it is perfect for an Asian biotope with Betta for example. It is a plant that just put needs to adapt to the new environment, so it is easy to see it initially disperse, after a few days it resumes with the growth of new leaves.
It likes medium lighting, does not need co2 but if there is better, so that you can develop its characteristic pink/red coloring. If in the right conditions it will manifest a bright red, in pot it presents green, and once set and will have rooted in your aquarium, it will tend to become red.
It's a plant that roots a lot, and this is a great thing not to create anoxic zones in the bottom, the roots will spread throughout the bottom of the tank. It will be easy to see new seedlings from the bottom as it reproduces with throws of stolons in the bottom, creating large bushes. Predilige tropical temperature. We recommend a specific liquid fertilization for red plants, in order to favor the manifestation of its characteristic color.
