This beautiful variant of Cryptocoryne wendtii from Mi Oya River on Sri Lanka has characteristic reddish-brown slightly bullous lanceolate submersed leaves with an undulate margin. It can grow to a height of 20-35 cm, however, under lots of light it spreads more.

It is as easy to cultivate as other variants of the time-tested C. wendtii, and it tolerates temperatures of over 30 °C. Its emerged leaves are mainly green, however, under water the plant assumes the habit described above.

Notes:

• If received invitro, please remove all gel from the roots. Where possible we try and ship without pots or rockwool. Due to them being non-biodegradable we prefer to propagate in an environmentally conscious way.
• CO2 will generally yield better growth rates.
• Stable water conditions are a must, changes should occur over a period of time in order to reduce chances of melting etc.
