How to Plant Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to push the roots of the crypt deeply into the substrate until they are completely buried. Pull out the plant slightly so that the crown (i.e., the base of the plant where all the leaves come out) is not covered with substrate.
4. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the plant at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the plant to keep it anchored.
5. Make sure to add lots of root tabs if you’re using inert substrate or if your nutrient-rich substrate is depleted.
How to Grow Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
— Cryptocoryne wendtii care is very easy, so start by using low lighting between 10-20 PAR.
— Why is my new cryptocoryne melting? Crypt plants are known to experience "crypt melt" where the leaves may melt when suddenly moved to a new environment. To help the plant recover faster and grow new leaves that are accustomed to your water parameters, leave the roots planted in the ground and make sure to provide nutrient-rich planted tank substrate or Easy Root Tabs.
— Why is my Cryptocoryne wendtii turning yellow after it was growing so well? Crypt plants absorb lots of nutrients from the ground, so it may be a nutrient deficiency. If the leaves are yellowing and dying after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
— How to trim Cryptocoryne wendtii: If the crypt plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf.
How to Propagate Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green
Crypt plants can reproduce in aquariums by sending out a horizontal runner with a little plantlet at the end or growing little nodes off the side of the original plant. The plantlet will sprout its own leaves and roots that grow into the ground. You can cut off the runner or gently split off the plantlet node from the parent plant. Then the plantlet can be replanted in a different location.

Package came in a timely manner. I was able to get many plantlets from the pot with healthy roots and leaves.

I ordered last month and received a few days later. I waited to review to have the time to see it would survive. The first time I tried to grow plants was a disaster. I tried planting in gravel and used no fertilizer. This time I planted in Fluval Stratum. Plus I feel buying from Aquarium Co op gave the plants a head start. I have already had to trim the stem plants from this order. I feel because I also ordered 10 plants they consumed enough nutrients that I have had little issue with algae. I have not had an issue with "melting"

Crypt Wendtii Greens are some of my favorite plants, and the Co-Op never disappoints!
D
these are doing great in all of my tanks. a couple of them melted back, as crypts do, but new leaves bounced back after a couple weeks, bright and green. i love how low maintenance these plants are because im terrible at growing plants.

The arrived quickly and in great condition. I have it for 3 weeks now, it was actively loosing old leaves for 2 weeks, and now it's almost to it original size with new leaves that look nice and healthy.

Crypts arrived well packaged and insulated with warming pack. Shipped out quick. Was worried at first once it arrived because some looked wilted/yellow and small but once left in water they sprung back in a few days. Did notice what seemed like some small floating duckweed hitchhikers but netted those out asap. Would order again.

I've tried several carpeting plants to no avail. Although these are not carpeting plants they grow pretty wide and low to the substrate. My fish love hiding in them. The two larger crypts I've had since November.

My new Pearlscale Gold Fish love them too!
Thankfully, they are not eating them!

I’m happy with all the plants I received. Everything is healthy and doing well. I can’t wait for them to grow and give my shrimp more cover.

These plants arrived in PERFECT condition! I had a plastic plant in my new aquarium and when my new plants were delivered in the dead of winter I was pleasantly surprised! They look so good! I bought more!
Great store, great prices, great products!

I love this plant. I am a beginner but went hard on real plants and this one is one of my favorites. It came from ACO bushy, fluffy and green. Its a slow grower that loves root tabs since I use gravel. Easy to take care of and did little to no wilting when I put it under water. If you want a bushy plant that goes with the flow as long as you feed it once a month root tab and weekly squirts of easy green. This is your plant

Cypts are some of my favorite plants, these are no exception. I setup a tank for my mom this Christmas with several coop plants. They all came in healthy and full even in the freezing cold. Very happy with the purchase and how quickly they arrived despite being very far away from the new Kentucky warehouse. Thanks Coop!

I have had these plants for almost 3 months. They have grown well and as you can see, look beautifu!

This is my favorite plant ever. So easy to care for and absolutely thriving. Leave it alone, no matter what after prep and planting. I was for sure these were going to die and a few months later Ive seen a massive bounce back and new growth. Get these. Get lots of these and make a small midground jungle. Ny picture is showing about 3 months of growth.

I love this plant. It came in green and healthy. It’s thriving in both of my tanks.

Ordered 2) Java Fern and 3) Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green in October. All were received very healthy and larger than expected. Been in the tank a little over a month (December) and all is well. No melt from the crypts at all. Never disappointed with the co-op!!

Bought 2 of these crypto’s about 6 weeks apart.
The first one did so good- we thought- why not get another! Should have gone with live plants long ago. Very easy to grow. Our lighting is great. And the AQUARIUMCOOP is very helpful!

Plants arrived quickly and in stunning condition. They have since started filling out even more.
