✂️ Care
Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. When transplanting, 'crypt-melt' can occur — this is normal, and the plant will recover within a few weeks. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
The brown leaf color adds a warm accent to the foreground. Combines beautifully with green Cryptocoryne species for a color contrast.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is 'crypt-melt'?
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.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
