A perfect low light plant! 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!
Crypts will get darker, more pronounced color in higher light environments.
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 Potted Crypt plant will have multiple nodes and many leaves. Between 2-5" tall/ wide.
EMERGENT-GROWN
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low to Medium 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!
