Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ is celebrated for its striking, bright green foliage that adds a vibrant touch to any aquarium. This robust plant, native to Sri Lanka, thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a versatile choice for both novice and experienced aquarists.

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ performs well in hard water and is tolerant of low light conditions, although it achieves its best color and growth with moderate to high lighting. This plant is also resilient in the shadow of larger plants, making it a great option for creating lush, green undergrowth in aquascapes. While it can grow without CO2 supplementation, providing a nutrient rich substrate is a must. To prevent the initial melting phase and for continued success with this plant, provide it with root fertilizing tablets or capsules, and repeat the dose every 2 - 3 months.

Propagation of Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ is straightforward. The plant produces runners from its rhizome, which can be easily separated and replanted. This method allows for the expansion of your plant collection or the creation of a dense carpet of greenery. Ensure that the rhizome is not buried in the substrate to prevent rot, and keep the plant well-spaced to allow for its natural spread and growth.

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Green’ is an excellent choice for adding a fresh, green contrast to your tank. Its adaptability and ease of care make it ideal for various aquascaping setups, from small nano tanks to larger aquariums.
