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 arich substrate, excessive iron can cause crop failures and lavish CO2 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.

    		Cryptocoryne willisii is a perennial plant with deep green linear to egg-shaped leaves. It is amphibious and only the terrestrial plants get to flower. Cryptocoryne willisii is a rathersmall plant and spreads to thick turfy tufts in theaquarium. It proves a fine decoration together with othermore high growing Cryptocorynes such as Cryptocoryne beckettii. When growing by themselves reduce the water level and plant it in corners where detritus andother organic wastes tend to pile up - it benefits from such good nourishment. In contrast to some delicate Cryptocorynespecies diseases are rather rare. For several years this plant has wrongly been described as C. nevillii. However, C. nevillii does exists but it is rare and not suitable for the aquarium. For more information visit The Crypts Pages.
