CRYPTOCORYNE BECKETTII – Aquatic Plant from Sri Lanka for Foreground Planting
Cryptocoryne beckettii is a well-known and reliable aquarium plant native to Sri Lanka, widely appreciated for its resilience and ornamental appeal. In its natural habitat, it thrives in shaded, shallow riverbanks and streams, growing both emersed and submerged. Submerged leaves exhibit varied hues from green to brown, a trait common in many Cryptocoryne species, providing rich visual contrast in the aquarium.
This plant forms compact clusters, ideal for the foreground or midground of an aquarium. It is undemanding, grows steadily under medium light, and adapts to a broad range of water parameters. Supplementing CO₂ enhances growth and coloration, making it suitable for both beginner setups and professional aquascapes. Propagation occurs via side runners, making it easy to multiply in planted tanks.
