✂️ Care

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

💡 Planter's tip

The characteristic bumpy texture gives a unique texture — place as a striking accent piece next to smooth-leaved plants.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What makes Bullosa special?
The dark brown leaves with a slight bumpy texture give this plant a unique, natural texture not found in most other Cryptocoryne species.

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.
