🌿 Cryptocoryne wendtii

🔹 Description

Cryptocoryne wendtii is a hardy, low-maintenance rosette plant from Sri Lanka. It’s highly adaptable and comes in several color forms (green, brown, red). Its wavy, lance-shaped leaves make it a favorite for both beginner and advanced aquascapes.

🔹 Care

• Placement: Foreground to midground, depending on size

• Lighting: Low to medium

• Growth rate: Moderate

• CO₂: Not required, but boosts growth and coloration

• Water: 22–28 °C | pH 6.0–7.5 | Soft–medium hardness

• Size: 10–25 cm tall depending on form

🔹 Notes

• Grows best when left undisturbed – avoid replanting often.

• May “melt” (lose leaves) after planting or parameter changes; new growth will regrow from the roots.

• Propagates by sending out runners that form small daughter plants.
