A perfect low light plant! Crypts generally grow very slowly and do not like to be disturbed, so plan accordingly!

I'd place these in the front, to mid-ground in your aquascaping, although I have a few that have grown up to 8 inches tall over three years. As I said, slow growing!

One of the lowest-light, and easiest-to-please plants I carry, you should nonetheless expect some leaf melt when it's shipped your way. These like to regrow their leaves when disturbed.

One plant is 3-5" tall.

EMERGENT-GROWN

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-8
• Low to Medium light intensity.
• Slow growth speed

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:
How to Bleach Dip Aquarium Plants Safely

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
