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 the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
