- Easy to Grow
- Low Light
- Bronze Color
Cryptocoryne Tropica is a form of crypt Wendtii which features long, crinkled leaves that are bronze to deep green in color. This crypt definitely stands out in an aquariums of any size.
Because this is a medium-sized crypt which grows relatively slowly, it serves as a great low maintenance midground plant. It will thrive under low light and send out runners as it grows.
Customer Reviews
Very happy with this plant it was recommended by one of the sales staff at the store.
As with all the plants I received they came in great shape and fast shipping. I have had some melt as to be expected but new growth started within the first week.
The plant arrived in great shape, albeit with a bit of ice on the wool. I let it adjust to room temperature overnight before planting. I followed Cory's method of sticking a root tab in the wool and planting the whole pot under the substrate. Looks very healthy and my ghost shrimp like checking out those crinkly leaves!
This plant has been in my brand new 75 gallon for about a month. Lost maybe 3 leaves to "crypt melt" and it has grown like crazy since.
This crypt is beautiful. I love the leaf color, it is set off by the green plants. They always arrive in great shape and so far, they have never melted back hard. Occasionally, a few leaves melt, but they have always bounced well back. They do well in my tanks that only receive Easy Green, and in the ones that get liquid and root tabs.
Highly recommend!
