This low light plant is easy to care for and likes to feed on root tabs and nutrient-rich substrate. Its coloration can vary from bronze to green, depending on the lighting and fertilizer. On average, it can reach up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and is often planted in the midground of tall tanks or background of nano tanks.

How to Plant Cryptocoryne Nurii
1. Upon receiving the tissue culture plant, immediately open the container and rinse off any excess liquid from the roots.
2. The cryptocoryne can be planted as one single plant or gently separated into smaller plant clumps if there are multiple nodes.
3. Insert each plant clump into the substrate using planting tweezers or your fingers so that the roots are completely buried but the leaves are above the substrate.
4. For optimal growth, do not move the plant or disturb the roots. Keep the water parameters, lighting, and fertilization schedule as consistent as possible for optimal growth.
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 Nurii
— Cryptocoryne nurii 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 nurii 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 nurii: If the crypt plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf.
How to Propagate Cryptocoryne Nurii
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.

The coloring is GORGEOUS! Super healthy plant that’s thriving. Betta mom approved!

Problem free.

Tend to have bad luck with some of the more "uncommon" crypt species, especially when they're tissue culture but this one seems to be thriving super well. I didn't really bother splitting the bunch up and kind of just planted and forgot about it but months later this is how it looks now.
J
This is a great way to get multiple plants of one type. I’ve developed the habit of floating the cups in tanks under light for at least a week after receiving as the plants seem to pop that way. This C. nurii was practically breaking through the cover because it floated for two weeks. Yes the plants were curled in on each other, but that will quickly remedy itself. As you can see, I ended up with five good sized clumps with multiple runners each, all from one tiny cup. Planted them today in my 37 gal community and 10 gal shrimp tanks with root tabs. Now it’s on me to keep them flourishing.
D
They completely melted. Nothing left above substrate. Will they come back? IDK. Contact me in 4 weeks, I'll let you know.

I've always wanted to try tissue culture plants, but didn't think I'd have the patience to wait on the plant to grow in. Well, I couldn't be happier with this Crypt Nurii. This pic was taken within 2-3 weeks of planting. Low tech, no CO2 in a 5g shallow tank. The small green leaves are the newest ones coming in. This is half the portion that came in the pot. Amazing deal.

My 1st order of tissue culture plants & the plant was healthy even after ordering in cold weather conditions. It's doing well in my low maintenance setup & didn't experience any melt. Did loose a few leaves but is doing great & starting to spread out.
S
Cory mentioned these in recent YouTube video. Bought 3, healthy root systems, back for more for other aquariums. Love my purple color with some variegation.
A
The nurii is a different and unique crypt. Love the color and pattern. Thought they'd look great behind my dragonstone.
J
The Cryptocoryne nurii is doing great! Already growing new submersed type leaves with tiger stripes and pinkish midrib and veins. The mailing from Aquarium Coop was fast and they took great care packing the plant for shipment.

It’s doing very well. I definitely recommend.

Beautiful plants!! Zero melt!

All plants arrived healthy and looks great. Im very impressed with the packaging they use here. Very well done. Will always return to buy again. Highly recommend!
W
This is my first tissue culture experience and I am completely satisfied. The plants were healthy and divided up nicely. I was able to get 5-6 good plants out of it a most had multiple runners coming from them already. No issues at all with them transitioning to my aquarium either.
W
I have high KH water (GH 50ppm, PH 8, KH 238ppm) This plant did not melt. It took off and is growing like crazy. Beautiful as well
G
Bought this in the tissue culture. It's Been in my aquarium for about a week now with no issues. 👍 My other plants that I got melted hopefully they come back after being in the water for a while.
D
Beautiful plant!

Every time I get all tissue culture plant, it never works. I took a chance on the because theyre so beautiful and you cant find them anywhere else. 3 tissues cultures, 3 groups of dead plants the instant I put them in a tank. Would not recommend these or tissue culture in general.
A
This is one of the more interesting looking plants I've seen. The patterning on the leaves is very striking. It has rooted and begun growing far faster than I would have expected, based on previous Crypts.
Caveat emptor: I have had mixed-to-bad luck with tissue cultures from various sellers. I was pretty nervous ordering this, but it turned out great.

Tissue culture arrived well and as expected. Adapted well to the tank..

I watched a YouTube video and it just so happen Cory mentioned these crypts in the video and I was lucky enough to get a pack while they were in stock. The package was healthy upon arrival with around 8 plants and a few had runners already. They even sent a cool free shrimp sticker. Such a good experience. Will shop for plants from here more often.
A
Got 2 plants from a single container. Nice looking plant. Look forward to seeing how they grow!
L
Looks healthy and it's doing well. I love the shape of the leaves.
E
I just order and plant it its melting back so it's to early to tell if they will make it or not.
