Common Name: Crypt Axelrodi

Crypt Axelrodi is a rarer Cryptocoryne species featuring narrow leaves, a hardy nature, and a greenish-brown color. It works well as midground coverage in planted tanks. Grown in-vitro as a tissue culture, this cup arrives free of pests, algae, and snails.

Max Height 10-15"

Other Family: Araceae. pH 6-7.5. Slow grower; CO2 and good lighting yield healthier, more robust growth.

Care & Planting: Rinse tissue-culture gel off before planting. Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted — avoid relocating them if possible.

A note on "crypt melt": Cryptocoryne are well known for shedding their leaves after being moved, replanted, or exposed to a sudden change in water parameters. This is normal — new, better-adapted leaves typically regrow within a few weeks once the plant settles in. Don't panic if it happens; just maintain stable conditions and give it time to recover.
