✂️ Care
Cryptocoryne Walkerii is very low-maintenance and adapts to almost any aquarium. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. When replanting or changing water, 'crypt-melt' may occur — the leaves yellow and die. This is normal, and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.
💡 Planter's tip
Plant in groups for a full, natural effect in the foreground or midground. Ideal as an entry-level plant for your first Cryptocoryne.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is 'crypt-melt' and should I be worried?
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.
Is this a good plant for beginners?
Yes, Walkerii is the most popular and forgiving Cryptocoryne species.
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.
