✂️ Care

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

💡 Planter's tip

Plant in groups for a full, natural effect in the mid-ground. Combine with green plants for a warm color contrast.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be worried?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change. The leaves yellow and die, 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, please contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
