A perfect low light plant! Crypts generally grow very slowly and do not like to be disturbed, so plan accordingly!
The Potted Cryptocoryne Becketti, also known as Water Trumpet, is a commonly chosen crypt plant for beginners due to its relatively easy maintenance. With its unique reddish, ruffle-textured leaves, it adds a beautiful and eye-catching accent to any mid-ground or centerpiece display. Its striking contrast to other green plants makes it a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts.
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.
Potted plants are better established and average 6" tall.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
