Available in different options:

• Bare-root: Red, Green, or Bronze (2-5" tall, at least three leaves)
• Potted: Red, Green, Bronze, Flamingo, or Tropica (single pot, 2-8" tall depending on variety)
• Multi-packs: Red, Green, or Bronze (3x, 5x, or 10x pots)

A perfect low light plant! The popular Cryptocoryne Wendtii is available in multiple beautiful color variants.

Color variations:

• Red, Green, Bronze: Standard varieties, very hardy and low-light tolerant. One of the lowest-light and easiest-to-please plants I carry. Available bare-root, potted, or in multi-packs.
• Tropica: An unusual variation with that signature hammered bronze look. Stays compact and produces crinkly leaves that can look brown, ruddy, and even orange depending on your lighting and tank conditions. Available potted only (4-8" tall).
• Flamingo: Unusual and a rather sought-after new type of Cryptocoryne! Stunningly colorful foreground plant. This type is a little more fragile and demanding than the usual Crypts and should not be disturbed once planted. Available potted only (3-5" tall).

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!

Crypts generally grow very slowly and do not like to be disturbed, so plan accordingly!

Crypts will get darker, more pronounced color in higher light environments.

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.

EMERGENT-GROWN or SUBMERGED-GROWN

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
• Ph 6-8
• Low to Medium light intensity (Tropica prefers medium, Flamingo prefers medium to high)
• Slow growth speed (Tropica has medium 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! 💚
