Let fortune choose for you with Grower's choice of a mystery Crypt.
I choose from the following types:
- Crypt Balansae
- Crypt Becketti
- Crypt undulata
- Crypt Parva
- Crypt Retrospiralis
- Crypt Spiralis
- Crypt Lanceolata
- Crypt Wendtii Bronze
- Crypt Wendtii Mi Oya
- Crypt Wendtii Red
- Crypt Wendtii Green
- Crypt Ponditerifolia
- Crypt Lutea
- Crypt Lucens
These are perfect low light plants! Crypts generally grow very slowly and do not like to be disturbed, so plan accordingly!
I'd place these in the front, to mid-ground in your aquascaping, although I have a few that have grown up to 8 inches tall over three years. As I said, slow growing!
One of the lowest-light, and easiest-to-please plants I carry, you should nonetheless expect some leaf melt when it's shipped your way. These like to regrow their leaves when disturbed.
One single bare-root plant will have at least three leaves. 3"- 8" tall.
Grown both SUBMERGED and EMERGENT
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low to Medium light intensity.
- Slow to medium growth speed
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
Customer Reviews
Mystery Crypt was a perfect healthy plant with good roots. Still unsure of which variety but worth the price, would purchase again.
The type of crypt was not labeled on the package. Typically when I have ordered mystery plants from other business they label the plants for arrival. It’s not big deal. I will keep this in mind next time I order.
There was quite a bit of yellowing of the older leaves, which I wasn’t thrilled about, but they are leaves I would typically remove to help prevent melt anyways.
I needed quite a few more plants and some shrimp for my 10-gallon, but thankfully I got more than that. I now have a tiny ramshorn and a decent-size bacterial colony as well! I love that everything from Glass Grown comes from well-established community tanks because mine has benefitted from that so much!
I enjoyed this product because it gives you a chance to try out a new plant, and the one I got looks beautiful and healthy.
I have ordered multiple times. I have multiple tanks and I like the excitement of trying something new. These are healthy plants. Great size. Good variety. I like there single stems options for stem plants as well
