This hardy and undemanding plant is a mid-ground plant native to the shallow rivers of Thailand. Just like other Crypt species, this one requires stable water parameters and can't be moved all the time as the leaves will start to melt. It does not require CO2 injection but benefits from it as well as liquid fertilizers. This plant has big, elongated and wavy leaves with green/brownish coloration.

When pruned every so often it will grow more like a bush instead of tall and high, which is more appealing to some.

Quite common in the aquarium hobby and great for beginners.

It will propagate quickly by sending runners once settled in its new environment.

The plants were packaged well, healthy, and had quite a few extras within each bunch. This was my second order and I'm as pleased as the first time. Processing to ship was kind of slow, but it's no biggie as the quality is there. Definitely will come back in the future.
