✂️ Care
Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Do not plant the rhizome too deep into the substrate. When replanting or during water changes, '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 midground or background.
❓ 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.
How do I prepare an In Vitro cup?
Remove the plant from the cup, rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water, and plant in the substrate.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, In Vitro plants are grown above water and will adapt. Give the plant 1–2 weeks. For persistent issues: contact us.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — precisely as In Vitro, it's ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pests.
