Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red is a relatively easy-to-care-for aquarium plant that thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a good choice for beginner aquarists. It needs a nutrient-rich substrate, low to moderate light, and a stable water temperature and pH.Â
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of its needs:
- Lighting:Â It can tolerate low to moderate light, but will show more vibrant red coloration with higher levels of light and supplemental CO2.
- Water Parameters:
- Temperature: Ideal range is 74-84°F (23-29°C).Â

- Temperature: Ideal range is 74-84°F (23-29°C).Â
- Substrate: It’s a root feeder, so a nutrient-rich substrate like Fluval Stratum or Rio Escuro is recommended. Root tabs can also be used to supplement nutrients.Â
