Cryptocoryne Spiralis

Cryptocoryne spiralis grows long, narrow, grass-like leaves that twist gently along their length, giving a stand of it a lively, current-swept look. Unlike most crypts it works beautifully in the background, where its slim blades sway like Vallisneria. Feed the roots and be patient through the usual crypt melt, and it will spread by runners into a flowing thicket.
