🌿 Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ – Earth-Toned Midground Plant for Natural Aquascapes
Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Brown’ is a warm-toned variation of the popular wendtii species, known for its bronze to chocolate-brown foliage and softly wavy leaves. This crypt is a favorite for natural-style aquariums because it blends beautifully with wood, stone, and other rooted plants — adding contrast and texture without dominating the scape.
Slow-growing, hardy, and 100% naturally rooted in rich organic soil, this plant thrives in Father Fish–style tanks with no need for CO₂, bottled fertilizers, or root tabs.

✅ Warm Earthy Colors – Rich brown tones contrast well with green plants
✅ Wavy Leaf Texture – Adds movement and depth to midground layouts
✅ Naturally Grown – Soil-rooted with no synthetic chemicals or boosters
