Cryptocoryne Plants are always a beautiful plant to have in the planted aquarium. They are many speciaes and subspecies of Cryptocorynes which sometimes can make identification of these plants quite hard. These plants tend to arrive in bad condition with wilted or melted leaves. Do not worry as crypts do not like change in temp, ph or lighting. Plant the crypt and wait a few weeks and this beauty should come back to life. Many Cryptocoryne Plants Will flower if left to grow out of the aquarium water column.

Cryptocoryne parva
!
Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes. It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions. It needs more light than most other Cryptocorynes because it almost loses its leaf blade under water. So it must never be overshadowed by other plants. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart, and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants. Recommended for foreground planting. | ||||||

Cryptocoryne retrospiralisAquarium plant
!
Cryptocoryne retrospiralis grows over the whole area of India, disjunct from C. crispatula but in the southwest of India mixed with C. spiralis. Not flowering specimens of C. retrospiralis are not easy to distinguish from C. spiralis as both have similar, stiff leaves. The spatha however is quite different. The difference between C. retrospiralis and C. crispatula is that the latter has often narrower, often undulated, laeves. Further, the two plants differ in the markings on the limb of the spathe. The typical monsoon leaves in C. retrospiralis (the chives form leaves) are also found in C. crispatula. Though this plant is known for more than 150 years, little is known on the variation in this species.

Cryptocoryne wendtii "Red" is a beautiful reddish brown variety of Cryptocoryne wendtii. It is a mistake to believe that Cryptocorynes require soft water. In large parts of Sri Lanka the water is hard, so Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes are almost all suitable for hard water. If the plant is affected by the so called "cryptocoryne disease", do not remove it from the aquarium because a few weeks later it will produce new shoots. See other Cryptocorynes for further information.
