✂️ Care

Cryptocoryne Wendtii is very low-maintenance and adapts to almost any aquarium. With more light, the reddish-brown color becomes more intense. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. 'Crypt-melt' may occur when replanting or during water changes — the leaves yellow and die off. This is normal, and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.

💡 Planter's tip

Plant in groups for a full, colorful effect. Combine with green Cryptocoryne species for a beautiful color contrast.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be concerned?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change (replanting, different water parameters). The leaves yellow and die off, but the rhizome remains alive, and the plant regrows within a few weeks.

How do I get the most beautiful red color?
More light enhances the reddish-brown hue of the leaves.

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.
