Description

Cryptocoryne walkeri, known as Walker's crypt, is a rosette plant from Sri Lanka with dark green, strap-like leaves that rise from a central rootstock. Leaves reach around 10 to 15cm and form a dense, low clump. Under strong light it can take on a reddish-brown tint.

It sits well in the midground or towards the front, where the clustered leaves knit into a lush green patch. This is an easy, hardy crypt that settles into low-tech and high-tech tanks alike, doing best rooted in a nutrient-rich substrate. It spreads slowly by rhizome division, sending up new plants from the base, so a single clump gradually fills its space. If the leaves melt back after planting, do not worry: that is a normal crypt response to a new tank and fresh growth follows once it has adjusted.

All our plants are harvested fresh, algae free and in great health. The conversion to submerged form starts in our grow-out tanks, which maximises your success once it settles in. We recommend a 2HR Aquarist fertiliser for the best growth, colour and plant health.

Submerged: A plant grown completely below the tank's waterline.
Emersed: A plant with growth above the tank's waterline (leaves, stems and flowers).
