✂️ Care

Cryptocoryne Walkerii is very low-maintenance and adapts to almost any aquarium. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. When replanting or changing water, 'crypt-melt' may occur — the leaves yellow and die. 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 foreground or midground. Ideal as an entry-level plant for your first Cryptocoryne.
