CRYPTOCORYNE WENDTII 'GREEN' – Compact, Hardy Plant for Aquarium Foreground
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green' is a popular and resilient aquarium plant from Sri Lanka, known for its bright green leaves and low, spreading growth habit. It’s perfect for nano aquariums or the foreground of larger tanks, forming attractive, carpet-like clusters when grown in open spaces.
The leaves of this variety tend to lie flat along the substrate, creating a dense, bushy effect. It typically grows to a height of 5–15 cm and a width of 8–15 cm, making it ideal for compact layouts or aquascaping layers. C. wendtii 'Green' thrives in a variety of conditions, including hard water, and can adapt to low lighting, although it develops a fuller shape under medium light.
It’s a low-maintenance plant, does not require CO₂ supplementation but benefits from it, and is suitable for low-tech planted aquariums. Its robustness and adaptability make it a great choice for beginners and advanced aquascapers alike.
