✂️ Care
Cryptocoryne Beckettii 'Viridifolia' is low-maintenance and suitable for most aquariums. Do not plant the rhizome too deep into the substrate. 'Crypt-melt' may occur during replanting or water changes — this is normal and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.
💡 Planter tip
Plant in groups for a full, natural effect in the foreground or midground.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from the standard Beckettii?
'Viridifolia' has plain green leaves, while the standard Beckettii has an olive-green hue.
What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be concerned?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change. The leaves yellow and die off, but the rhizome remains alive and the plant grows back within a few weeks.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimatize. For persistent problems: contact us.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
