Cryptocoryne albida ‘Costata’ is a distinctive aquatic plant native to Thailand, known for its elegant, narrow leaves that range from red-brown to deep green with striking black patterns and gently wavy edges. Each leaf reaches 1.5” in width and up to 6” in length, giving the plant a delicate, flowing appearance that pairs well with a variety of aquarium plants. Its unique coloration and texture create stunning contrasts in planted tanks, making it a favorite among aquascapers.

Like many Cryptocoryne species, C. albida ‘Costata’ is highly adaptable and can thrive in a range of aquarium conditions. While it prefers a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth, it can also tolerate low-light environments, though its growth rate will be significantly slower under such conditions. This resilience makes it an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing plant that adds depth and natural beauty to any aquascape.
