Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' is a lovely variation that has the same size and ruffled leaf texture as C. wendtii but the leaves are bicolored — green on the topside and red-bronze on the underside. The coloration varies based on the lighting and fertilizer. This crypt plant is easy to care for, can take low light, and likes to feed on root tabs and nutrient-rich substrate.
On average, it can reach up to 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) tall and is often planted in the midground of tall tanks or background of nano tanks. This plant is slow-growing like most crypts, but once the roots becomes well-established, it will expand by growing new plantlet nodes from the root base.
