Description
Description
Cryptocoryne wendtii Pink Flamingo, or the Pink Flamingo crypt, is an uncommon colour form of the wendtii group with soft pink to blush foliage and an elegant, slightly wavy leaf. It sits well in the midground, where its warm tones stand out as a focal point among green plants.
Like all Cryptocoryne, this is a rosette plant that grows from a central crown and spreads slowly by runners to form a loose group over time. It holds its best pink under stronger light, and adding CO2 makes the colour more intense, though it still grows happily in lower-tech tanks with a more muted pink hue. A nutrient-rich substrate keeps it healthy. If it drops a few leaves after planting, that is normal crypt melt, and it recovers and pushes new growth once settled.
Care at a glance
- Placement: Midground
- Lighting: Medium
- CO2: Medium
- Growth rate: Moderate
- Difficulty: Intermediate
- Colour: Pink
Our plants are harvested fresh and algae free, and the conversion to submerged form starts in our grow-out tanks, which maximises success once it settles into your aquarium.
Submerged means grown underwater, the form the plant takes when living in your aquarium. Emersed means grown above the waterline with leaves in the air, the form many plants are farmed in before they adapt to submerged life.

Within a week of planting, the little cutting was a little plant and within a month it has produced a second plant and looks fantastic. I was nervous about the price and killing the plant as a novice so I'm really happy with my purchase
Very nice plant Looks even better already
Beautiful plants in great condition. Can't wait to see the colour to get more vibrant.
Impressed with the quality of this beautiful plant
