Cryptocoryne crispatula Tissue Culture
Cryptocoryne crispatula sends up long, narrow leaves with a distinctive crinkled, hammered texture that sway like grass in the current, making it a graceful background crypt for larger tanks. As a tissue culture it arrives clean and free of pests and nuisance algae, ready to establish. Like all crypts it may melt back after planting — don't panic, it regrows from the roots once it settles in.
