Cryptocoryne Tropicais Tropica’s version of the Crypt Wendtii but with darker leaf coloring.When planted and grown in an open space, its leaves will virtually lie on the substrate.Like other Crypts, it grows at a moderate rate.Its growth rate is moderate and can be grown submerged and emersed. To propagate, simply cut off new plantlets growing from the mother rhizome.

Common Name: CryptTropica, Water Trumpet

Cryptocoryne Tropicais a form of the popular cryptocoryne, Crypt Wendtii. This popular Crypt will display long, green/orange/bronze crinkled leaves when grown submerged. Photos show difference betweensubmerged andemersed grown plants. Like other Crypts, it grows at a moderate rateand can be grown both submerged and emerged. Care is simple for cryptocoryne and is comparable to other low-light aquatic plant species such as Anubias, Bucephalandra and more.

Crypts propagate through runners, which can be cut and replanted into the substrate if desired. For good coverage, plant individual stems about one inch apart. Water trumpets can also be planted in bunches as long as all the roots have exposure to nutrients from the substrate.

Notes:

• Potted aquarium plants are kept submerged and are adapted to aquarium settings.
• Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted. If possible, do not move them!
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly plant “potted” aquarium plants, clickhere.
• CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
• Unless noted, our aquarium plants are adapted to aquarium settings and will do best submerged. If this is not your goal, please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
