✂️ Care
Do not plant the rhizome too deep into the substrate. 'Crypt-melt' may occur when transplanting — this is normal and the plant will recover within a few weeks. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter tip
The long, narrow leaves provide an elegant look in the mid-ground. Combines beautifully with smaller Cryptocoryne species in the foreground for a layered effect.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is 'crypt-melt'?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change. The leaves yellow and die off, but the rhizome remains alive and the plant will grow back within a few weeks.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
