| From Tropica: |
Cryptocoryne wendtii is suitable for small aquariums.
When grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the
bottom. Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows
well in hard water. Like many other plants, it can be affected
by cryptocoryne disease. One way to prevent this is by only leaving
the 4-5 newest leaves on the plant when planting. It is a good
foreground plant, even in small aquariums. |
