Cryptocoryne Wendtii

Cryptocoryne wendtii is a popular and hardy rosette plant that thrives in a wide range of freshwater aquarium conditions. Its long, wavy leaves come in shades of green, brown, or bronze, adding rich texture and color to the aquascape. Perfect for the midground or as a centerpiece, it grows steadily under low to moderate light and doesn’t require CO₂. Known for being easy to care for, it may undergo “crypt melt” when first introduced but reliably regrows from its roots. Fish- and shrimp-safe, Crypt wendtii is a classic choice for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike.
