Cryptocoryne wendtii "green" is an
extremely versatile plant. The leaves vary much according to morphology and
colour, and the colour ranges from light-green to red-brown depending on
water and light conditions. The same individual grown under different
environmental conditions changes so much that it is hardly recognized as the
same species.
It is beyond any doubt the easiest plant in the aquarium, and in contrast
to common belief it thrives well in calcareous water. Though Cryptocoryne
wendtii "green" benefits from a rich substrate, excessive iron
can cause crop failures and lavish CO
addition can also cause 'Crypt Melting'. We recommend to
remove older leaves before planting as they don't contribute to the
overall energy supply to the plant anymore and simply removing them ensure a
better performance of the plant in the new environment.
