Dennerle Cryptocoryne Affinis

Description

Cryptocoryne Affinis

This Cryptocoryne has been kept in aquaria for over 50 years.
All Dennerle Cryptocorynes are grown emersed in our greenhouses.
Growth behaviour and leaf form differs significantly in plants growing in emersed and submerged states.
This is also true of Cryptocoryne affinis.
The typical olive-green to brown foliage only develops under water.
These plants make no great demands in terms of lighting, but optimum growth is achieved in slightly alkaline water. C. affinis comes highly recommended for cichlid aquaria with limestone.
