Unusual and a rather sought-after new type of Cryptocoryne!
Crypt 'Flamingo' is a stunningly colorful foreground plant. Once this gets planted, let it be for some time. This type of Cryptocoryne is a little more fragile and demanding than the usual Crypts and should not be disturbed.
Looking for other colors and variations? Try Potted Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red, Green, Bronze and Tropica!
Bare-rooted versions of Crypt Wendtii are also available; They come in Green, Red and Bronze!
Rooted, potted variety is 3-5" tall.
EMERGENT-GROWN OR SUBMERGED-GROWN
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Medium to high light intensity.
- Slow growth speed
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
Customer Reviews
Excellent quality! Arrived and acclimated nicely.
I bought both potted Wendtii Flamingo & Tropica. Both pots were full of healthy crypts with great color.
The plant arrived with about 6 leaves and was extremely pink. One leaf melted but one has already started to grow. I can’t say if it’s going to stay pink as I don’t run CO2 but I do dose iron so I’m hopeful.
The pot I received had two plants in it, which was a nice surprise. They arrived with strong roots and a few leaves each. Leaf color was a dusty pinkish green to start. I planted them near the back of a carpeted area, in high lighting, hoping they would pop against the green.
After a couple weeks of no noticeable growth (but only minimal melt) I put a root tab under each. Since then - a couple weeks ago - I have new leaves sprouting on each, and the new leaves are PINK! I can't wait for them to mature.
This is the new plant that everyone has been excited about It was packaged well and I appreciate the extra plant i recommend this seller for everyone!
