Cryptocoryne Retrospiralis — Potted

$6.99 USD
by Nature Aquariums
Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Flag: Zero source content. General Cryptocoryne retrospiralis facts used below. Cross-reference: a "Cryptocoryne Spiralis/Retrospiralis" species-identity flag was raised earlier in this pass (Batch 10) on a different listing where title and body named two different species — worth checking both listings together.

CO2 Optional
Requires Aqua Soil Not required, but recommended
Type Rooted (Sword/Crypt)
Max Height 12-20"
Placement Background
Light Level Low to Moderate (approx. 20-50 PAR)

Other Distinctive long, narrow, spiraled leaves.

Care & Planting: Plant the rhizome/root system in nutrient-rich substrate. Cryptocoryne prefer stable water parameters and established tanks.

A note on melting: Cryptocoryne (as well as Amazon Swords and other Echinodorus) can experience "melting" — sudden dieback of leaves — after planting or a change in water conditions. This is a normal stress response; leave the root system in place and new, tank-adapted growth will typically emerge within a few weeks.
