✂️ Care

Cryptocoryne Beckettii is low-maintenance and suitable for most aquariums. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. When replanting or during water changes, 'crypt-melt' may occur — this is normal and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.

The olive-green color contrasts beautifully with solid green or red plants. Thanks to the XL size, you immediately get a full result.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does XL mean for this plant?
XL indicates that you will receive a larger, more developed plant than the standard size.

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 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.
