Description

Cryptocoryne Undulata ‘Red’

This Cryptocoryne is a brown-red form of the time-tested Cryptocoryne Undulata from Sri Lanka. It develops quite narrow leaves with a wavy shape. The underside of the leaves have purple-red tones with red-brown tones on the upper side. Colouration of this plant may change based on the conditions in your tank.

As well as the other Crypts of the Sri Lanka species group, Cryptocoryne undulata ‘Red’ is easy to grow, tolerating a wide range of conditions. It still grows with little lighting but gets quite tall (up to ca. 30 cm) and rather green then. However it remains lower and shows its most attractive colouring with good lighting and nutrient supply that also enhances considerably its growth rate. As well as many other Crypts, this C. undulata  propagates through underground runners, forming a dense bush over time.

Cryptocoryne undulata ‘Red’ is a versatile aquarium plant, especially useable in the midground. With its reddish colours, it provides a nice contrast to green plants and fits well with hardscape in red-brown tones.

Not all plants are equal. We work really hard to make sure you get the best quality plants at the best prices. What you can expect to receive are as per photos. Plants are snail free, algae free and in great health. Tissue culture plants can vary in quantity and size. Tissue culture plants will continue to grow in their cups until the nutrients within the media is completely exhausted. Store in a cool and clean area if you do not intend to plant immediately. Plant immediately once opened. Please refer to our guide on tissue culture plants.

We recommend the usage of a 2HR Aquarist Fertilizer with all our aquarium plants for the best growth, colouration and plant health.
