✂️ Care
Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Plant in a nutrient-rich substrate in the mid-ground. Do not plant the rhizome too deep. When replanting, 'crypt-melt' can occur — this is normal, and the plant will recover within a few weeks. Liquid nutrition such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
The wavy leaf margin adds a unique texture. Combines beautifully with other Cryptocoryne species for varied, layered planting.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is 'crypt-melt'?
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.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — especially as In Vitro, it's ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pests.
