Cryptocoryne Ciliata

Cryptocoryne ciliata is one of the largest crypts, growing long, lance-shaped green leaves that make it a genuine background plant rather than a foreground clump. Unusually tolerant, it handles a range of conditions including slightly brackish water and spreads by runners once established. Give it space and it forms an impressive leafy stand.
