Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' is one of the most dependable crypts in the hobby, forming a rosette of wavy, lance-shaped green leaves that adapt to almost any tank. It's a root feeder, so it appreciates a nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs, and it spreads slowly by runners into a lush midground clump. Don't panic if it melts back after planting — crypts often shed leaves when moved, then regrow stronger from the roots.
