Wavy-edged leaves take on a deep brown color under good light, and this Crypt tolerates harder water better than most, making it a good pick for cichlid tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCO2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot Required (recommended for faster growth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequires Aqua Soil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot required, but recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRooted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-6\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForeground to midground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow to Medium (approx. 20-50 PAR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSri Lanka\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlso available Potted.

Crypts dislike being moved once established — pick a spot and leave it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA note on \"melting\": Like most Amazon Swords and Cryptocoryne species, this plant is farm-grown emersed (above water). When you first submerge it, don't be alarmed if the original leaves die back over the first few weeks — this is called melting, and it's a normal part of the transition, not a sign the plant is failing. Emersed leaves are built for air and only have stomata on their underside; once submerged, the plant sheds them in favor of new underwater leaves with stomata on both sides, better suited to absorbing CO2 from the water. New submersed growth typically appears within a few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53887455559904,"sku":"10796TC","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/8501\/5264\/products\/cryptocoryne-wendtii-brown-30660485906632_1200x800_99efc3a5-a71c-4b00-a6e9-b93a1c89f324.jpg?v=1668120829","url":"https:\/\/natureaquariums.com\/products\/cryptocoryne-wendtii-brown-tissue-culture","provider":"Nature Aquariums USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
