This red version of Cryptocoryne undulatus grows wild in rivers of Sri Lanka.
It is an easy plant, tolerant of very different conditions in an aquarium. Appearance of the plant will partially depend on these conditions.
Low levels of light and nutrients will produce a relatively tall, greenish-brown plant of slow growth. Higher levels of light and nutrition, combined with added CO2, will make the plant grow considerably faster producing shorter leaves of a reddish-brown colour
Growth rate: Moderate
Height: 12– 30 cm
Light demand: Medium to High
Ph: 5.5-9.0
Skill Level: Easy
CO2: CO2 is not required, but it will help with their growth
Cryptocoryne Undulatus Red propagates via runners, creating daughter plants. These are cut from the mother plant and placed in a new location.
