Cryptocoryne Wendtii 'Green Tissue Culture (Aquascaping Essentials)

Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Green’ is a classic, low-maintenance aquatic plant, renowned for its vibrant bright green leaves and exceptional adaptability. Its compact growth habit and robust nature make it a perfect choice for mid-ground to foreground placement in freshwater aquariums. Whether used as a lush green accent in small tanks or as part of a dense cluster in larger aquascapes, Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Green’ adds a natural, vibrant charm that enhances any layout.

This versatile Cryptocoryne thrives under low to moderate light conditions, making it ideal for low-tech setups. Its resilience allows it to grow well without CO2 injection, though a nutrient-rich substrate and occasional root tabs will encourage healthier, more vibrant growth. Once established, Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Green’ spreads gradually through runners, forming dense, bushy clusters of lush green foliage that require minimal maintenance.

At Aquascaping Essentials, our tissue culture plants are densely packed and sealed for freshness, providing you with an abundance of healthy plants that are pest, algae, snail, and disease-free. This ensures exceptional value for money while giving your aquascape the best possible start.

The plant’s wavy-edged leaves and bright green color make it a fantastic contrast to other plants with darker or broader foliage. Its hardy nature also means that it is highly resistant to grazing from herbivorous fish, making it an excellent addition to community aquariums or tanks with shrimp and grazing species.

Cryptocoryne Wendtii ‘Green’ is perfect for aquarists of all levels, offering beauty, resilience, and versatility with minimal care. It works well in biotope tanks, jungle layouts, or minimalist scapes, where its lush green foliage can shine.
