CRYPTOCORYNE WENDTII ‘BROWN’

Description

Brown Cryptocoryne

(FORMERLY CRYPTOCORYNE WENDTII TROPICA)

This brown variation of Cryptocoryne wendtii is also very popular and can be used in a variety of plant landscapes.
The edges of the leaves are slightly wavy and some are bullate.
The leaves are green to brown, sometimes with brown mottling.
In good lighting the leaves turn a deep, dark brown.
Use as a stark contrast in combination with other green water trumpets.
As with almost all Cryptocorynes from Sri Lanka, these grow well in hard water and are therefore ideal for cichlid aquaria.
