🌿 Crypt Wendtii Green (Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green')
Bright-Green, Gently Textured Leaves • One of the Most Reliable Crypts • A Natural Midground Classic
📋 Crypt Wendtii Green is one of the most dependable and versatile Cryptocorynes you can grow. Its rich, bright-green leaves have a gently wavy, textured surface and grow in neat, full clumps that become lusher and more impressive as they mature. It brings natural depth and balance to the midground, and it pairs beautifully with bronze and red crypts in nature layouts, community tanks and shrimp tanks.
It's hardy, forgiving and happy in low to moderate light without CO2. Plant it in a nutrient-rich substrate with root tabs, then leave it to settle; as it adjusts to your tank, fresh new leaves take over and it spreads steadily by runners into a full, natural group.
It's a freshwater plant, perfect for freshwater aquariums and also at home in paludariums.
