✂️ Care

Cryptocoryne Wendtii 'Flamingo' is low-maintenance and suitable for the foreground of almost any aquarium. Do not plant the rhizome too deep into the substrate. When transplanting or performing water changes, 'crypt-melt' can occur — this is normal, and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks. More light enhances the pink color.

💡 Planting tip

Plant in groups for a full, colorful effect in the foreground. Combine with green foreground plants for a strong color contrast.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be concerned?
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: contact us.

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