Description
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.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of its needs:
- Lighting: 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).
- pH: Tolerates a range of 6.0-7.5, but sudden changes should be avoided.
- Temperature: Ideal range is 74-84°F (23-29°C).
- 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.
- CO2: While not essential, supplemental CO2 can enhance growth and coloration.
- Fertilizers: Balanced liquid fertilizer can be used to ensure optimal growth and coloration.
- Growth: It’s a relatively slow to moderate grower.
- Propagation: It can be propagated by separating rhizomes from the mother plant.
