🌿 Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Red’ – Bold Midground Color for Natural Aquascapes
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Red’ is a richly colored, slow-growing plant that adds deep rust, copper, and bronze hues to your natural aquarium. With its wavy-edged leaves and compact rosette shape, it brings contrast and movement to the midground or foreground of your scape — all without CO₂, root tabs, or chemical fertilizers.
Like all crypts, it thrives in deep, nutrient-rich soil and does best when left undisturbed. Grown using the Father Fish method, this plant supports a stable ecosystem while adding visual depth to low-tech tanks.
💚 Why Choose Crypt Wendtii ‘Red’?
✅ Striking Red-Bronze Foliage – Adds warm tones and depth
✅ Compact Rosette Form – Great for grouping in natural layouts
✅ No CO₂ or Bottled Ferts Needed – Thrives in dirted tanks
✅ Perfect for Shrimp, Fry & Nano Tanks – Offers cover and soft structure
✅ Hardy & Long-Lived – Excellent for established aquariums

Lighting: Low to moderate (red color deepens with better light)
