Common Name: Crypt Wendtii Brown

This brown variation on Cryptocoryne wendtii is also very popular and can be used in a variety of plant landscapes. The edges of the leaves are slightly wavy and some are bullate (blistered or dimpled). In good light the leaves turn a deep, dark brown. In combination with green water trumpets it provides good contrast. As with almost all Crypts from Sri Lanka, these grow well in hard water and are therefore ideal for cichlid aquariums.

Cryptocoryne Wendtii Brown is a common and popular plant, perfect for beginners. Like other Crypts, it grows at a moderate rate and can be grown both submerged and emersed. To propagate, simply cut off new plantlets growing from the mother rhizome.
