Crinum thaianum is a bulbous plant with very
long strap-shaped leaves, 1 to 3 cm wide. Some individuals are able to attain
a leaf length of 4 m. It is an unpretentious plant apart from the
requirements to space. Crinum thaianum benefits from a nutrient rich
substrate but the bulb is vulnerable to rot. This can be avoided by cutting
off the longest roots before planting as they are most subjected to rotting.
It is reproduced by adventitious bulbs on large individuals. Crinum
thaianum is not eaten by fishes which makes it particularly suitable for
cichlids aquariums. See also fish-proof
plants from Tropica Aquarium Plants. Check out the article The
search for new aquarium plants for a habitat picture.
