Cryptocoryne Lutea 5cm Pot

Also known as Crypt Lutea, this exquisite mid-ground plant boasts stunning bright green or bronzy oblong leaves, adorned with a gracefully wavy shape. Originating from the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, Crypt Lutea thrives in nutrient-rich substrates and moderate lighting conditions, making it an ideal addition to any aquascape.

Crypt Lutea's natural habitat in fast-flowing limestone bed streams or rivers has endowed it with a preference for high calcium levels, making it a unique and sought-after species for aquarium enthusiasts. To ensure its thriving growth, supplementing with CO2 injection and nutrient-rich substrate enriched with iron is recommended.

In the wild, Crypt Lutea often emerges above the water's surface, showcasing its delicate flowers. However, when submerged, it adapts seamlessly, gracing your aquarium with its lush foliage and vibrant presence.

While Crypt Lutea may undergo "crypt melt" during initial acclimation, rest assured that with stable water parameters and proper care, this resilient plant will rebound, producing new growth and adding to the enchanting allure of your aquatic landscape.

Propagation is effortless with Crypt Lutea, as it sends out runners that can be trimmed and replanted into the substrate, ensuring a lush and flourishing aquatic environment for your aquatic companions.
