✂️ Care

Cryptocoryne Green 'Crisped Leaf' is low-maintenance and suitable for most aquariums. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. When replanting or during water changes, 'crypt-melt' may occur — this is normal and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.

💡 Planter's tip

The wavy leaf margins provide a lively texture — combine with plain-leaf plants for a beautiful contrast.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What makes this plant special?
Its characteristically curled, wavy leaves provide a unique texture that differs from most plain Cryptocoryne species.

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 regrows 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.
