Description
Description
Cryptocoryne Flamingo, better known as Cryptocoryne Pink Flamingo, is a compact rosette crypt with soft pink to light reddish, gently wavy leaves. That unusual colour contrasts against the greens around it, which makes it a natural accent for the foreground to mid-ground of a planted tank.
It is a rosette plant that grows slowly and settles into a low, lush cluster over time, so it needs little trimming. The pink tones come through with good light and are helped along by CO2 and a nutrient-rich substrate; under dimmer light it tends to lean back toward green. Give it a bright spot and space to spread and it becomes a lasting focal point in minimalist, Iwagumi or jungle-style layouts. Like all Cryptocoryne, it can shed older leaves and melt back after being moved, which is normal, so leave it be and new growth follows.
It is grown in sterile tissue culture and arrives as a densely packed cup, free of snails, algae, pests and disease, giving you a clean and healthy start.
