✂️ Care

Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. A nutrient-rich and heated substrate stimulates growth. When transplanting or during water changes, 'crypt-melt' can occur — the leaves yellow and die off. This is normal, and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.

💡 Planter's tip

Plant solitarily as an eye-catcher in the foreground, or combine with other Cryptocoryne species for a natural, layered effect.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be worried?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change (transplanting, different water values). The leaves yellow and die off, but the rhizome remains alive, and the plant regrows 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.
